ohhhh
that vex
dude, your screwed. have you even seen what shops get for an hour's labor? your lucky pulling a side off only cost 65$
you should sell the bike, save your money and buy a running one. its just easier. if not, check ebay for a motor and pay the 350 to have it swapped. what you saw today, it pretty normal for a bike shop. they are open to make money.
