First, I'd check that the wheels are balanced correctly, then I would get it aligned.

An out of alignment front end can cause a speed sensitive vibration or shake. I would start there then.

If any of your bushings are shot they're gonna destroy your ride at any speed. Motors mounts will clunk/pop on acceleration.

Check the balance, rotate the tires. Have a tire shop check the condition of your tires, you may have a radial pull, or cupping to do lack of alignment or lack of rotation/proper inflation.
