(2) BICYCLE.--Every vehicle propelled solely by human power, and every motorized
bicycle propelled by a combination of human power and an electric helper motor capable of
propelling the vehicle at a speed of not more than 20 miles per hour on level ground upon
which any person may ride, having two tandem wheels, and including any device generally
recognized as a bicycle though equipped with two front or two rear wheels. The term does
not include such a vehicle with a seat height of no more than 25 inches from the ground
when the seat is adjusted to its highest position or a scooter or similar device. No person
under the age of 16 may operate or ride upon a motorized bicycle

Operators of motorized bicycles do not need a valid driver’s license and are not
required to register them in order to operate them on public roadways.
