I think some vehicles have the speed sensor on the transmission output shaft, since that has a fixed relation to vehicle speed with the diff ratio and wheel circumference. If the transmission is removed, no speed sensing is available until you mount a wheel speed sensor or a pickup on the motor if it has fixed reduction - you can use the latter for the dual purpose of protecting the motor from overspeed if you have a DC series motor and speed sensing. If you have an AC motor, the inverter knows motor RPM and if you have fixed reduction then you can calculate speed. My truck has a very simple relation of motor RPM to speed since it has a transmission that is locked in second gear (fixed reduction) so the motor reaches its 9000 RPM redline at 72 MPH, so every 125 RPM is 1 MPH.

You found a car without a speedometer? I mean, it is proportional.
