That would give me a 60V system, higher top speed (around 60 mph) and a little better range.

I don't love how the current configuration makes the two top front batteries stick out a bit. When I only had three batteries in front, they really fit the frame nice.

Also, if I did add any more batteries, I would need to buy a new controller and charger. Both of those items are 48V. I could probably get away with just adding another 12v charger, but a brand new controller just to get 12 more volts is a bit pricey.

Isn't there like an EV swap meet or something near you? I mean, over the winter or something, since the bike will probably be decommissioned anyway, why not pull the controller off and see if you can trade it for a higher capacity unit, or trade and some cash, barter, etc..

I mean, if you're interested in going bigger. Alternatively, those saddle bags make nice dry storage, and they're probably a bit high to start throwing batteries into, which will offset the balance of the bike and it's Center of Gravity.
