I’ve brought a 1000w 48v 20ahp quad bike but the run time is only 45 mins can anyone advise what battery , charger etc to use to upgrade to get longer running time.
 
In general, you’d want a bigger battery for longer running time, but only you know what you mean by longer.
What’s your budget?
 
Here's one that needs BMS and a charger that tops out between 52.0 and 54.6V, but it will more than double your existing range. It also weighs less than half compared to what you have.


37Ah is not quite double the nominally 20Ah of your existing pack, but I can assure you you're not getting anywhere near 20Ah now. A lithium ion automotive module like the one in the link suffers much less Peukert effect, and tolerates deeper discharge without as much loss of capacity.
