Unless you can get the specs from the manufacturer, or test it with a controller, there's no way to get the information you're after.

If the KV is indeed 145 and it's a 12v motor you would be running under 2,000rpm with a 12v battery.

Note BigMoose questioned the shaft on what might be the same or at least a similar motor. 12v, 15a, what could is it really?

this is not the same motor. The one you link in your post is a cobalt power steering motor and its a brushed motor. I work for a chevrolet dealer and i have
about 50 of this motor. I alerady built a bike with this motor and i can cruise at 20 mph on a 8S lipo battery and the motor take it easly. i also try with 2 motors
and i have a top speed of 36 mph on 8S battery. But thoses suckers was pulling 60 amps at this speed.

Thats why i want to try with a brushless motor. So i can run on 16S + lipo

why not use the controller that goes to that motor on the car? you might be able to modify the controller to get more power otherwise you will have to buy a small BLDC controller. not a big motor to begin with so i doubt if it will take much power.
