*Might* have to do with insurance:
"They" might want to require insurance for vehicles traveling on city streets. Assume neighborhood streets are 25mph or less, city streets are 35mph, and let 30mph be a gray area. Creating a special class of vehicle (LSV) that is allowed on the city streets bur are required to be registered is at least an attempt to ensure that it is also insured.
*** The registration fees and fines for violations don't hurt either
