In the USA I found there is a category of vehicle called a "LSV"- Low Speed Vehicle, for cars that can go between 25 to 35 mph ( about 30 to 50 Kilometres per hour).

Re: Richard J. Smith drawings and hardware - 14 years ago
Hi Karl I am making an Educator I have the body and front axle done. I am working on the rear differential now. lack of funding has brought things to less than a crawl. I am starting a new business so hopefully things will pick up by this fall. Dougby Doug-Ji - SteamStuff
