Depends on how powerful the motor is. Weak motors can be classed as assist motors, and they are free from legal requirements.

If it's a stronger motor you will might need licensing, together with insurance, registration plate/number, tax, VOSA safety inspection and a cbt /licence.

They are basically saying that these petrol engined bicycles are going to be classed exactly the same as a 50cc moped.

Its fair enough really as this is why the moped classification was born to differ from motorcycles. MOPED as in MOtorised PEDal cycle.

Depends on the power/size of the engine. Small/weak engines don't require licensing, but bigger/stronger engines do.
