Mizlplix, ivan and Ripperton over on DIYELECTRICCAR.com did custom motors, with Rippertons being an axial flux. Looking at the discussions, it is extremely complicated getting the details exactly right for the non-EE, and the motor rebuild people who do this for a living just use rules of thumb which are old and established in the 1900's.

Of course people will be modding their ride, however the low hanging fruit is already plucked in EV's and your control.over parameters is dependent on your interest.
