Why are micro EVs like Eli Zero limited to 25mph in most cities?

Micro EVs such as the Eli Zero, Silence S04, Citroën Ami, and Renault Twizy are classified as Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs), restricting them to a maximum speed of 25 mph in most cities. While many believe that even a slight increase in the speed limit would greatly enhance their practicality, changes to these regulations do not appear imminent. Let's explore the reasons behind this.
