Answer 1

If it is under 49cc's then you do not need a license, if it is 50cc's or over you do.

Answer 2

If it is under 50 cc you DO need a license in California. It's called a M2 license anything over 50cc requires a M1 license

Answer 3

Please do not take any advice on this subject from Yahoo! Answers contributors who act like they know. You absolutely must get this information directly from the California DMV. The law is too complicated and there are too many boneheads interpreting it for you here who will not be there for you when your scooter or moped gets impounded. The information is available to you on the DMV website. Here is the most up-to-date California DMV motorcycle handbook. Read it.
