Yeah, I guess so, it isn't really at the top of my priority list right now.

The cycle would have better range and speed with the extra battery.

The downside is that I would need to buy a new 48V charger, or at least 4 12V ones.

If I did up the 4th battery, I think I would want to do up some real battery holding brackets as well.

I am planning on taking the cycle to next weeks Milwaukee Hybrid Group meeting. The ring-leader of that said there was a good chance there might be a news TV camera crew there too.
