It's kind of unfortunate. With 30HP, you could easily run that to 50-60mph, but they had to limit it to 25mph to keep it in the NEV [neighborhood electric vehicle] class. Any faster and you've got to meet a million bullshit govt regs.
I've cobbled together two electric motorcycles/bicycles and achieved 30+mph on less than 1HP. Of course, neither is street legal, but they're a riot to ride, silent and zero maintennance. Cost was well under $1,000 each.
