If the motor is expensive or hard to get, keep it and use a driver rated for more volts.As said, you can buy four MOSFETS and make a driver that is good enough for a use-case where A/C mains is available and you are not trying to squeeze every drop of power from a battery. Homemade h-bridges

You can set the VNH3SP0 to "brake" mode. But this works or not depending on the motor and gearing. It is very easy to test if it will work. Twist the leads of the DC motor together. With shorted leads, the DC motor should resist rotation, to what degree depends on the motor. The other mode
