Upgrading their old ST1 to go faster?

[Cupid]

Anyone make any customization to their old 2015 ST1 model to make it go faster?
Modification like adding mid-drive motor and additional battery?

I don't even know if mid-drive motor kit will fit or not from Luna Cycle.

Bafang BBS02 Mid Drive eBike KIT

Get the Bafang BBS02 for only $525 and transform any bicycle into an electric beast. Do up to 30mph and use the gears of your bike to shift into low and climb big hills.

I have looked into Front wheel motor/battery combo kit but as Stromer ST1 does not have standard front fork, I couldn't find any that would work with ST1.
As bike is getting older and its heavy, riding up hill and also top speed has taken a hit; and would like to make modification to add additional motor & battery to make it go faster with higher torque.
If anyone has experience or suggestions please let me know.
thx

ASI controllers like Grin are not very user friendly for many n00bs. Programing mistakes can be disasterous. Proceed with well researched advice. They’re also VERY expensive. $350-$400. Plus cables. Grin version was easier for me with OS X programming. Windoze, Android, and Linux too.

Baserunner - Grin Products - Product Info

The Baserunner is a slim profile field-oriented motor controller that fits inside the baseplate of popular downtube battery packs. This product is based around ASI’s BAC355 controller platform ,but is configured and connectorized to be much easier to wire up in an aftermarket ebike.
