A method for determining motor velocity includes receiving motor sensor data from at least one motor sensor associated with an electric motor, the motor sensor data including a plurality of motor sensor measurements and respective time values; determining an average time value based on the respective time values for each motor sensor measurement; generating a first gain value, a second gain value, and a third gain value, the first gain value being generated based on at least the average time value; and estimating a motor velocity based on at least one motor sensor measurement, the average time value, the first gain value, the second gain value, the third gain value, and at least one previously estimated motor velocity.
