In my home state of Pennsylvania if it has an engine attached, electric or gasoline it must have a license AND the operator MUST have a driver's license.

Now powered wheelchairs and scooter designed for handicap people need not be licensed or the operatpor have a driver's licesne, but the wheelchair or scooter must be prescribed by a medical provider.
