I think AC is overhyped, plenty of DC controllers have regen. That is a fine motor though.

The highest speed Agni motor is a great DC motor, but a bit pricey.

I think something with good potential is large RC plane motors. It's probably best to reinforce the bearings and add hall effect sensors (maybe liquid cooling too), but they have absolutely stupid high power to weight ratio, just gotta use 2 of them instead of 1.
