Where I live no one is going to take it. I don't even need to lock my bike.
But for my own peace of mind I lock my bike and take my battery with me. For school/ work you just bring it to a locker if some room you have access to. For the supermarket I toss it in the trolley which I bring to my bike.
It's faster to remove the battery than lock the bike.
I wouldn't leave my battery outside for environmental reasons, too hot, too cold, too wet.
The battery itself isn't protected from theft or vandalism. You have to put the battery into something. You have you build your own on-bike security box.
No difference between 48 and 52 other than the 52 V will spin the motor 5-10% faster.
You can't be sure it fits. But dropout width for these hub motors are usually 135ish and 140-150 for the more powerful ebike motors.
Like I said the kit has nothing special and guarantees nothing, you can source all your own parts.
You have to do all your own wiring and everything in all cases.
Motor and battery is what costs a lot to ship (weight).
Controllers and other parts are cheap to source. You can grab a programmable controller and other accessories from EM3ev if order from there. Connectors, power wires, heat shrink, spare throttles...
200$ with free shipping is very hard to beat and we don't know anything specific about the motor like Kv or performance. When you order form QS you are pretty sure on what you get.
Cheaper:

I'm sure you will be happy with the 160$ hub motor from Amazon, and worst case you slowly upgrade to a QS motor. We can get some Statorade (Gatorade for your motor stator) with the money saved. Automatically gives 50% more continuous power capability.
My only concern with the Amazon motor is it is slow (low Kv) and unknown stator width and copper fill. It would be nice to see inside the motor.
It's 160$, maybe we shouldn't worry too much.
If I were to get this kit https://www.amazon.com/Esright-Wheel-Electric-Bicycle-Conversion/dp/B06XDHLVDZ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1511922964&sr=8-3&keywords=electric+bike+26%22 could I just buy [this battery] (https://www.genstattu.com/tattu-14-8v-5200mah-4s-15c-30c-lipo-battery-pack-with-xt60-plug.html) to get it running? Would I need more than 1? And would I need some type of battery casing?
EDIT: now realize that is only 14V. If I could 2 of these https://www.genstattu.com/tattu-22-2v-5200mah-6s-15c-30c-lipo-battery-pack-with-xt60-plug.html would that be about enough power?
