A driver's license is required. In fact, a scooter of that size is considered a motorcycle and requires a class M motorcycle license if one wants to drive it on the street. It has nothing to do with top speed.
Scooters regardless of displacement are motorcycles under California statute. There is no 49cc exemption any longer. 10cc gas motor with no pedals is a motorcycle under California law and requires M1. The previous info is incorrect. There is a 49cc exemption and it is called a M2 license. Call California DMV at 1-800-777-0133 to verify. The M2 license does not require a driving test on a motorcycle. The test can be taken on a scooter with a 49cc or less displacement. Any larger displacement does require a driving test on an actual motorcycle.
Sales of these bikes requires occupational license, meaning a DMV issued dealers license.
Scooters in the form of skateboard type things are illegal for any public road use if gas powered.
M2 license is the written part of the motorcycle license, and M1 requires a driving test. Safety courses are accepted as an alternative to M1 driving tests if passed
