- Gear it down (to add torque) and make a spitroast motor?
- Pop it into a kids ride on/in car? (might need to add a brake...)

- connect it to a pump and make a water feature

- automate your curtains

- rotate your bed

- build a launcher for your kids (to play with, not to launch them)

Attach knives and machetes to it somehow, making the ultimate weapon for when the zombie apocalypse hits. 

Speaking of weapons, the Mythbusters made a pretty convincing spear thrower from a spinning tyre on an episode devoted to the A Team. It would certainly work for that.

Remote control power boat. See if you can get a 2-4ft model boat with radio etc. Put the motor in and wire it up. Watch it haul arse = Profit

 Stick a line trimmer head on it and use it to cut grass

Battery power does limit it but:

Like the old mopeds - put a rubber wheel on it, mount it on your bicycle nad push the rubber wheel down onto the bike wheel - powered bike

I'm maing a hovercraft at present. - a vacuum cleaner or leaf blower is big enough to lift 120kg easily - so a weed trimmer motor - hmmm

Outboard motor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qgzl5RiUPuM

Paint mixer.

Lathe or saw motor - mount it on table and attach stepped pullys to make fan belt driven gadgets.  Power it via convertor.

Water aerator.

I have working bread maker motor with control board and vacuum cleaner motor with control board if anyone interested .. Those work from mains. Dumped all other motors I had (12V DC) recently

For motor controllers have a lot of high voltage high power IGBT
