Electric Bikes - Car alternator are e-bike motor

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
Have any of you tried using a care alternator as a 3 phase motor to drive a bike( or anything)? there are many hints that it can be done on the internet but I've found nothing useful as far as how to do it. Can you make a RC plane/helecopter controller work? Alternators are a dime a dozen if you know where to look and chinese made ESC's are light and very cheap.
