[Puppylove]

im 16 and looking for a moped since i dont have license yet and want to get a job and of course the gas prices! but i was looking at some traffic laws and it says i might need a class E license but i dont know what that is and i live in california can someone explaint o me waht that is and if i even need one? it says in most states a 49cc vehicle or smaller wouldnt need a license but i dont know what a 49 cc means lol please help!

49cc is the size of the inside of the gasoline engine (pretty small). Some of those laws are very confusing. Especially with electric bikes coming out that are not measured in cc's Don't know about California, but here they say if it has pedals you don't need a license. If there are no pedals , you need one.
