I checked a site for ZAP a local company for electric vehicles. The design speed for their street bike conversion kits is 15 MPH. have you tried accelerating slowly and keeping your top speed down to extend the range? Might give you the distance you need until the battery upgrade. Given a lower speed you might get away with a smaller and lighter motor.
