These are one step up from golf carts in that they are enclosed. Otherwise, the same basic restrictions in the US. Most places in the US really can’t accommodate them without violating the law.
If you really can’t go faster than 25mph; you won’t be able to break the law, but you’ll get run down if you venture out to higher speed limit streets. We just aren’t set up to let you get where you need to go on 20-30mph streets.

This is not quite correct; Europe’s quadricycles and the USA’s LSV are specific legal categories so not all microcars comply with their requirements. Japan also has their own categories with different limitations.
