Thanks, dcb. Sounds like I shouldn't do that because i've never taken a motor apart. However, if i DID do that, what factors am i looking at for determining how many turns and what size of wire? Presumably, i'd want far more amps to go through it to generate the same power - so the motor makes the same torque.

In other news... Looks like Kelly sells 3-phase AC hub motors that are rated at lower voltages like 48-72. HHHHmmmmm!!!!! Unfortunately, doing some rough calculation on their rated RPM, I wouldn't be able to spin one up to 80km/h - i hope I"m wrong, though.
