Im broke and I know how to take shit apart but I dont have any mechanical skill, if you can identify any problems let me know.

Does the wheel turn (relatively freely) when the power is off?

I see some moisture / corrosion damage in there. But knowing what's going on would be helpful as far as figuring out what's what
What's up?

Im not exactly in expert in this area but when I pull the throttle it instead holds the back tire in place acting like a brake, and at first I thought it was probably with the tire so I took that apart, fixed the breaks, cleaned everything off put it back on, and it still was doing it, and then I noticed the back tire wouldn't spin backwards only forward, its an internal problem but im thinking it might just be time for a new bike, I gave my cousin this one for a 1 year and he come back with it not maintained and broke

I'd be looking at the other side and checking if your planetary gears are all mushed and need replacing.
