EVO AF130 Axial Flux motor - easy to drive?

Hi all,

In a recent web surfing procrastination I came across these motors

https://turntide.com/learning/evo-axial ... tor-af130/

If I got carried away with my credit card and bought one is it going to be hard to find and set up an inverter to drive it (assuming I don't buy one from the same firm with it)?

Ideally I'd like to have the option to use the open inverter board with a salvage inverter to keep cost down in some areas at least.

I've driven an axial flux motor with open inverter in the past. Nominal power at 600V would require 300A phase amps, so even a humble Prius inverter would at least get you started.
