You have to be 18 and you must have either a basic driver's license or a motorcycle license

New Jersey Title 39:3-10 The holder of a basic driver's license or a separately issued motorcycle license shall be authorized to operate a motorcycle having a motor with a maximum piston displacement that is less than 50 cubic centimeters or a motor that is rated at no more than 1.5 brake horsepower with a maximum speed no more than 35 miles per hour on a flat surface.

TREC says you only have to be 15 years old, but I cannot find it in the statues.
I am unable to find anything on registration requirements specific to "motorized bicycle."  It is a safe bet that they will be treated like a moped.
