Increase the voltage to the motor, probably with a new battery pack. Do be aware that this could possibly burn things out, and so I suggest not doing it unless you know what you're doing.

And if I were to wire a battery in parrallel to extend my range what battery would work well?
If the new battery is of the same voltage as the first, yes. Ideally both batteries would be of the same type and both would be at the same state of charge when connected. Again, if you don't know what you're doing, you can cause some really serious problems (like make your battery pack explode!), and so I'd suggest not doing this.
