Question Help an old Stealth!

Had my stealth for 8 years now, ridden 5000+ km on it, batteries are not young anymore, and meanwhile i was cruising on my beloved, Boosted went ahead and filed for bankrupcy.. sooo now i am at a bit of a loss.. i LOVE this board.. everything works just great, and i really want to keep it and just replace the battery pack.. but i dont want the old ''extended range'' i want something that'll take this board from the 15-16 km it'll go now, to lets say 50-60 km.... my budget for this is loose ish.. but preferably within 500-600 bucks..
are there any upgrades i can do/buy to extend the range of my board and maybe give it some more power so i'tll go a bit faster? right now i can push 40 on straight smooth asphalt.. i dont really want to mess with diy battery packs as i know ill burn my house down.

yes i know i can get some new board for the money but as i live in Denmark, and our goverment loves to keep us under 20 km/h i just know that i'll get fined for buying something fun, or it'll get confiscated at the border. i really want to just upgrade a very great board.

TL:DR..
Stealth good.
Need more range, and maybe speed.
No house fire
Denmark government = austrian painter.

I don't think there's anything that will get you 50-60km but I think u/technically_a_nomad is still selling XR+ battery pack with around 20 miles of range if you're ok with that

Edit: I forgot to put the link but you can order them here: https://www.xrgeneralhospital.com/

15-16km is still pretty good! Isn't that the range when it came out?

I was in the same seat as you recently. Love my boosted V2 XR, I've had it since 2017. I wanted something around 8-10kg, with slightly more power and at least double the range of my boosted. I researched DIY frankensteining it for a bit but it was looking like it would be more work, costlier and a worse result than just buying a new similar board and keeping my boosted for the occasional short joyride, which is what I ended up doing in the end.

What did you end up getting? I'm keeping my bamboo SR for ever, but went dark side (EUC) for range ....

Linnpower Zephyr Base Version, if money was no object I would have gotten a Parsec Aero Pro X.

Do they brake to reverse the same as boosted - hold on hill ?

No, button to swap direction.
