Have you solved the issue of where to put said battery?

Yes, I have two (parallel connected) and am planning to run them from a bike trailer - I'm trying to make a good long distance touring configuration.

Re: the motor, I may replace this at some point.  For now, running the 52v batteries is for range primarily, and the fact that they are 52v means the stock Rad Power controller will not pass power on to the motor.
I haven't had any issues running a 52V battery on a stock Rad Wagon, Runner 2, or City 4. But haven't tried with the integrated controller.

to accomodate a 52v battery for the RadRunner 3+

The biggest difference in power is in the controller upgrade, not the battery.

You'll probably get UP TO 24mph or 40 kph with the new controller but your motor will not go faster. To go faster, you'll need to replace the motor with a true 750 watt. That will get you up to about 32 mph or 48 kph.
