How fast would the bike have to go to ride on highways? You're not going to safely go 60, but 40 might be obtainable if you can buy another battery of the same type, wire it in series, and don't give it too much current.
You're definitely shortening the life of everything, but it's better than no use at all.
I'm 100% not going to go 40+mph on the highway on a bicycle. Luckily they're building a bypass, so in a year or two I'll be able to use it.
Big up for not deliberately biting the dust
