I bought a Taiyo Empi Love Bug bump and go a while back and it's in great shape BUT it doesn't have a motor. Is it worth the long term value to find the insides to fix it? If anyone has a spare motor assembly I'd be happy to purchase it from ya. I'm open to advise! Thanks.

I may have a parts car available. I'll check and see.

Followup: I checked, and while I do have the electric motor that's missing from yours, I don't have all the parts it needs, such as the rubber drive wheel and the mechanism that prevents it from falling off a table. (The motor is still wired to the light bulb in the back window.)

So cup half full.
