Do you need a license in California to ride a razor pocket mod scooter?

A California driver's license or learner's permit is now required to operate motorized scooters on public roads. Formerly no driver's license or learner's permit was required to operate on public roads. California Vehicle Code §21720 makes it illegal to operate a pocket bike on a sidewalk, roadway, or any other part of a highway, or on a bikeway, bicycle path or trail, equestrian trail, hiking or recreational trail, or on public lands open to off-highway motor vehicle use. This new law requires the manufacturer to provide a disclosure statement to the buyer which clearly indicates where a pocket bike cannot be operated and authorizes law enforcement to seize a pocket bike and hold it for 48 hours when the operator is cited for violation of Vehicle Code §21720.
