E-bike mechanical upgrades

[Lottejc]

Does any body have any suggestions of upgrades to make to my e-bike to increase speed when battery is running low? I’ve changed tyres to slicks, any other suggestions would be welcomed!

I’ve attached image of the rear wheel hub, if somebody could let me know if a gear cassette would fit here would also be grateful! Cheers

There's no derailleur hanger so it looks like you're limited to internal hub gears.
Shimano, Sturmey Archer and others make them in various price brackets.
More gears won't make the bike run faster on a low battery though. Smaller cogs which lead to more speed will only make the motor work harder requiring more juice from the battery. Bigger cogs will help the motor run easier but at slower speed.
Your best bet really is keeping the battery topped up. Letting it run low is bad for it.
Slick tyres aren't really the answer although you're going in the right direction. What you want is lightweight tyres with minimal rolling resistance and higher pressures. The higher pressures though lead to a harsher ride and reduced grip.

pedal harder!

I assume it runs a bit slower on low battery as inbuilt battery saving device to extend the assisted range.

its single speed by the looks of it - there ain't no gears in that hub

Nay, batteries naturally put out less power as they drain.

I was suggesting hub gears as the only option for an upgrade.
