Not to sound insulting, but you are asking a lot out of a bike at 350lbs. as that is the max payload for this bike... and you are exceeding it.
I wouldn't be looking to put any more money into this bike because there is not much you can do which won't increase the weight of the payload thereby decreasing any performance gain.
If anything, you should look to be reducing the weight of the bike's payload and that is what will make it peppier. If you are like me and have a bike lock and a set of baskets, then you are far exceeding the payload capacity and nothing you can do will change that.
The things you named off (accelerate slowly and battery drains fast) are directly correlated to weight. The fact that you don't pedal compounds the problem.
Odds are if you doubled the battery and the motors, you would also increase the weight by a large margin.
In stead of upgrading your current bike, you might try looking into an Aventon Adventure (400lb payload), Himiway Cobra (400 lbs), Blix Packa Genie (450lbs), <--- most recommended.
If you are really averse to pedaling, then forgo entirely and look at something like a a Surron (well above $1500). Either way, I would put that $1500 towards a Blix, sell the Rad and pocket whatever you get back.
