It is also meant to be used with a rollingpower battery pack.

Best guess is that it's a DC motor, however, modify at your own risk.

From the OP's link:

The powerful A/C motor throws lite-balls at variable speeds up to 60 miles per hour.

Your best and safest bet, while (comparatively) expensive, is a VFD or Variable Frequency Drive. You will need to find one appropriate for your motor's HP.
Automation Direct sells one for $100.
