This varies from state to state. Several states have different classes of licensing for smaller (usually 50cc and under) bikes or don't require any special licensing for small motorcycles, mopeds and scooters. In most states, you need a specific motorcycle license to ride any street bike or scooter over 50cc.
Check with your state DMV. Most DMV web sites have downloadable versions of their motorcycle handbooks containing all the licensing requirements.

If you have a valid Tennessee driver's license, you will not need to take a test to get an endorsement on your license if you are operating a scooter or moped that has a top speed of less than 30mph and an engine size of 50cc or smaller. If the engine size is larger than 50cc, you will have to take the necessary steps to acquire a motorcycle endorsement on your license.
Within the state of Washington, a scooter is considered a moped or scooter, rather than a motorcycle, if its engine is less than or equal to 50cc. Beyond this, a motorcycle license is needed. As well, make sure the scooter doesn't speed up past 30 miles per hour on level ground, as going above this speed will classify the vehicle as a motorcycle even if the engine is a proper size.
