Hi all, I need some help on the reuse of a couple of DC motors I recycled from an old Segway.
I have 2 projects in mined one is to use it as a speed regulated motor and the other to use it for power generation on a small wind turbine.
I never worked with this type of a motor so I'm a bit at a loss how to hook it up.

Here are some pictures of the motor, maybe someone could help me with this.
Thank you for your time.

Appears to be Fischer-Paykel style outrunner motors . Similar to used in washing machines.
They will generate 3phase AC, If DC required will need a 3ph rectifier.

You can get basic 3-phase motor controllers from the usual far East suppliers that will cope with that type of motor.
