DrTumolo,
Good job accessing the inside of the E+ motor. An outline of you method and tools used would be appreciated.

It appears the hub motor itself has 3 phase (power) wires and 3 Hall sensors. The phase wires are clear in the picture. I assume the 3 hall sensors are mounted to the small board at 4 o'clock. Red and black for power and the other 3 wires to each of the Hall's output.

If the E+ controller were disconnected and the phase and hall wires properly connected to an external controller, I assume the motor would work fine. Anyone tried it, or know it won't work?
