For a functional tachometer, why not remove the tone wheel from the ICE's crankshaft, install it on the DC motor shaft and mount the crankshaft speed sensor in the appropriate spot? No need to fool the ECU - simply give it a real speed signal.

I would also use some other useful ICE sensors, like mounting the coolant temp sensor somewhere on the motor or controller so you have a functional temp gauge.
