Kind of, in some states it's regulated like that, but in others it's not addressed at all. I had a joke in my reply, where it's true in my state that you need a motorcycle license for anything larger that 50 cc, but cc aka cubic centimeters of air displacement is a measure of Internal Combustion Engine size and has no correlation with electric vehicles. My state needs to update the regs and deal with e bikes going 25-30 mph down bike paths.
