Klar, das ist das Gesetz, aber was sind die Gründe oder was ist die Motivation? In Innenstädten beträgt die Höchstgeschwindigkeit oft 50, was eigentlich 55-60 bedeutet "mitschwimmen" im Straßenverkehr. Ökologisch und aufgrund der vielfältigen Parkplatzprobleme müsste der Gesetzgeber motiviert sein, mehr Bürger in solche Fahrzeuge zu bewegen?

45 km/h is the border where you need a B licence.
Below that they count as scooter and can be used with a much easier (and cheaper) licence.
> In city centers, the speed limit is often 50
It’s often 30, unless of course you elect a mayor from the CDU.

Ecologically, the legislator is motivated to get people out of private cars completely.
These vehicles are engineered to be in [EU vehicle category L6e](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadricycle_(EU_vehicle_classification)). On the one hand, this means they don’t have to have security features that „real cars“ need, like airbags, ESP, or even anti-lock breaks. I’ve never seen one of these vehicles crash-tested, and I don’t imagine they’d do well. This makes them light and cheap.
On the other hand, vehicles of this category cannot exceed 45 km/h.
Which, [on the third hand](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gripping_Hand), means that regulations for being allowed to drive such vehicles are much more relaxed. In France, for instance, you can legally operate such a vehicle on a scooter driving license from the age of fourteen; 15 in Germany.
But yeah, 45 km/h is an annoying speed.

No, the speed limit is 50. No more, no less.
>the speed limit is often 50, which actually means 55-60 to „swim along“ in traffic
You shouldn`t drive 60km/h in cities. Only few people drive like that, not the majority.
Also, the centers are mostly 30km/h. Or standing at a red light.
