The FAA has several restrictions on ultralight class aircraft. One of those is a speed restriction.
"[ an ultralight vehicle is a vehicle that:] (3) Is not capable of more than 55 knots calibrated airspeed at full power in level flight;"
So any aircraft capable of more than 55 knots (about 63mph) in level flight would not fall under the ultralight category and would have to be registered as a homebuilt experimental or recreational aircraft.
