So what are the OP's other options besides using an ESC ?
Telling us what he's trying to do with the motor. If he's just building a fan he can try an ESC, but if he's trying to build a CNC machine then that'd be a different story.
The "Datenblatt" on the page linked above states that his motor is 1.8A constant / 5.4A peak.
