I have an e-bike with a 600w hub motor Kit. The power supply is 3- 12v/12ah batteries and 50 amp controller. I'm trying to extend the range and have a few questions. I'm not looking for more top end just longer range. I have a unlimited supply of SLA batteries so I need to stick with that.

I don't have the room for the next step up in batteries size to 12v/18ah or to have 2 sets of 3 12v/12ah batteries in parallel. I do have room to go with a 48v and just maybe a 60 volt pack. Right now I have a sweet spot of about 300w that seems to work well. So here where I need input.

If w=V*A then increasing the pack voltage should increase the range if I continue the commute at the same speed and not just blast at full throttle?

Will the motor only draw what it's maximum wattage is or can I burn the motor up if I increase the voltage? Same question for the controller.

Any input is appreciated.
