What would be a good and cheap motor to use?

So I want to build an electric bike... I want to stay cheap. My motor: http://www.surpluscenter.com/Electrical/DC-Motors/DC-Motors-Face-Mount/12-VDC-8000-RPM-WINCH-MOTOR-10-1839.axd Would it work? Also: Suggestions on a controller, CHEAP! I have a bike picked out and I know how to put it together.

Is upgrading the PP150 possible by replacing the motor and battery? I may be buying one for 125 and I want to know if it is upgrade-able? I would probably savage the rear truck and re-design the entire electronic system. All of which would be put onto a new longboard.
