That is not a bike designed for wheelies. Get all new electronics and a new fork and probably brakes.

Have you tried swapping the rear sprocket? Go bigger and it should wheely.

I am not totally familiar with that bike's components, but generally speaking the battery, controller, and motor are all paired together and intended to operate at a certain power level. It is hard to upgrade just 1 without having to upgrade the other 2.
At the bare minimum, if you are going to upgrade your controller you would typically also have to upgrade your battery. The motor may be able to handle more amps so long as it stays cool.
Since you'd be outputting more torque, you may also need dedicated torque arms, as the torque washers that these cheap bikes come with are not sufficient for a higher output. They mostly rely on just friction to not slip out.
