This vehicle doesn't fall under the standard vehicle rules because it falls into the "light electric vehicle" category. For everyone complaining about the speed, it's limited for a reason: to qualify in that class, the vehicle must be limited to a top speed of 25 mph (Engadget has it wrong, see the SUNN site) and must stay on streets where the speed limit is 35 mph or less.
The whole point is to be an efficient local commuter car, to get to grocery and back, for example, so you don't have to waste a gallon of gas just to pick up bananas.
