    Speed Limits of Skateboards

    Was wondering why most of the production boards seem to limit speed at 20mph or lower in the USA? Are there federal regulations about this? Are they more state specific? Also is there a way around this say if someone wanted to make the Porsche or Ferrari of electric powered skateboards? Like...
