Can you pull any instructions on how to replace the electric motor on this car? Am interested to know if I buy this vehicle. Also, would it require programming?

It takes a specialized table rig to hold the electric motor because it is heavy so be ready for that. I looked at the instructions and I didn't see any programming necessary. You must be careful and follow the instructions because a wrong move can cause electrocution. I have included the instructions given but if you have any questions or need more information please ask. Check out the images (below). Please let us know how it goes.

Hotdarn, I see, thanks. So, the electric motor and the gas motor are both one assembly?

There is no gas propulsion motor, the gas motor is a range extender which runs a generator to help charge the battery.
