Would it be possible for two motors to run on one controller if one ran without hall sensor only connected by the phase wires?
Run two motors on one controller? Maybe?

Nope. The stator position of the motors differs, so the controller would only be sending out the right signal on the 3 phase wires for one of the motors. You'd need to open them up, then link them with a solid axle to stay perfectly in sync and run them side by side. Or use old, brushed direct DC motors.

Well I'm running a mid drive and a hub motor together on the same drive train wouldn't the chain keep them in sync?

If the 2 motors were identical and you synched the stators together mechanically such that the timing would be perfect then you could probably get away with it. I would not try it with unmatched motors through a chain.
Controllers are very cheap. You would be a lot better off using 2 controllers and a single throttle.

Short answer: No.
No matter what ingenious idea you come up with, it will not work. Get a second motor controller.

what happens when you change gear, or coast, or even if its a fancy fixy then the chain slack is way to much slop....itll de-synchronise.

Years ago I did that on a moped trike i built. Used a Altrex controller with 2 mars motors. The problem i had was never knew which way it would pull on acceleration. I dropped the ramp speed and that helped. One of the motors armature started to slip on its shaft and that ended that fun. I just pulled the bad motor and went single and road the heck out of it till some fella had to have it lol.. I also tried two hub motors on one controller . It worked but same thing, pulled to the left like a biotch lol. ....
These red bike was brush motors and the blue may have been brush not sure. These pics are from i think 2000. I love messing with electric vehicles but do not know crap about what works with what. I try it and if workd great if not back to the drawing board and lots of questions that im sure most folks get tire on answering. Im a disabled vet and have a balance problem and that is the reason i build and rid trikes

There are dual hub motor controllers. One throttle and PAS. Two motor outputs,
If you can run your hub motor AND the midmotor at the same exact speeds, the above could work, But that would be improbable.

They're basically two controllers in one housing.
brushless dc 50A dual drive controller
Model: DT25A Price: USD45 A controller which can control two brushless dc motors, and we call it dual drive controller. The controller can supply 36V,48V,60V battery. max 25A current to each m…

The variable regen looks like a nice feature.
