Scooter is fixed!
I went to OSH and got the longest philips-head screwdriver I could find that still had a small enough tip to work the average screw. I got home and unscrewed the screw that is supposed to hold the wire in with no problem. Then we ate dinner.
After dinner I determined that after I strip and cut the frayed end it would still reach the opening. I stripped the wire with the swiss army knife scissors and then trimmed the frayed ends with the nail clippers. I managed to find the small hole in the larger hole it goes in to and hold it there while I screwed the restraining bolt in place.
Then I turned it on and reset the circuit breaker and it all worked! A tug on the wire showed it in there securely. YAY!
