DIY electric bike motor?

hey, im working on making my regular bike frame to hold a electric motor and battery, im not spending much on it, i got the 3/4 HP motor for free and a 12v 300CCA as well… my dilemma is that i only got to motor to work once, and i was using a regular AC outlet on a house. the motor is rated at 115v and as far as i know it runs on AC, it doesnt specify and i havnt gotten dc current up to 115v yet. is there any way on puting something like a transformer that will jump the 12v to 115v.
or maybe another cheap battery solution that will get me 115v. also how am i going to know if the motor just runs on AC. thanks, sorry if its vague, just ask for more info if you need any

try a power inverter like you plug into your cigarette lighter to run 115v appliances should find at most home improvement stores or Radio shack
