There are no brushes LOL... BLDC = B rush L ess DC motor.
They run in either direction with no reduction in power.

That is a chinese POS motor that is *rated* at 336 watts max. It is
chinese, and therefor you must derate it by a factor of about 75%. If
you are using a chinese motor, no one here can tell you what will
happen if you reverse the voltage to it.

It is unlikely that that motor has any optimization...

Yes I know, but that is not the subject. If you have a better
motor (same size and mounting) that will live up to your
standards, please feel free to send it to me.

Why is that?

Are/were you drunk?

I gave you a direct link (right there, above this) to a brief
description of the product on the distributor's website. It says
"brush". Even the link says "DC_Brush_Motor".
