You can only drive mopeds and motorbike with a maximum engine capacity of 50cc. legally at the age of 16 in the UK. At the age of 17, however, you are allowed to legally drive a vehicle provided you have a license.

The Road Traffic Act 1998 prohibits anyone under the age of 17 from holding a valid driving licence. Therefore your US licence would not be considered valid in the UK until you turn 17.
