I am trying to program a Yuma 1500w 60v 12" hub motor with a Kelly kls-n.

Picture of open motor attached.
 
Normally 1 magnet is 1 pole

Some (rare) motors use pole segmentation, that’s several magnets with same polarity to achieve one pole.

pole count can be checked with a compass
Every north is a pole, every south is a pole

or

a refrigerator magnet on the outside of the rotor.
every push is a pole, every pull is a pole

Count the magnets (check if several magnets have same polarity), it’s that simple.
