I'm not sure I can accurately predict that, so the only way to find out would be to buy said batteries and run them until they die.
I'm not keen on buying any more batteries for the scooter since I've run into a wall in terms of upgrading it any further.

I just bought this Tomos Streetmate to replace it.

Less than a third of the cost per mile, quadruple the range (100mpg), and 15 extra mph (tops out at 40mph).
