Why do you need liquid cooled?
The current state of play is
Brushed DC (ex forklift) - cheap cheerful - LOTS of power - unsophisticated - no re-gen
Aftermarket AC motor and controller - expensive and very low performance - do get re-gen
Salvaged from an EV (Leaf, Tesla...) - cheap, powerful and sohisticated
My "Device" uses the Forklift option but if I was building now I would probably look for a crashed Leaf
