I'd agree, replaing the motor would be the best option.
I know I've seen 12 to 24 volt converters, but I'm not sure if they could
provide enough current to run an eletric motor, plus the cost of one may be
more than a new motor.
Keep in mind the new motor doesn't have to have the exact mounting as the
old one,new brackets/holes are easy enough to make.
