It's a 1/2 horsepower AC motor. What do you want to do with it? It is not of much use in a vehicle unless you have an AC controller.

For a passenger car EV you will want a 15 to 25 horsepower series wound DC motor (about 90 to 160 pounds.) Well, at least that is the most common route to building a road going EV.

not only that, but it looks like its single phase.

1/2HP continuous barely enough to get a heavy bike going. You'll need a much larger motor.

If it's 115 bhp it's a good deal. But I think this means: 115V and 0,5 bhp. And that is very very little power.
