All states require a license to operate a motor vehicle but a bicycle is not a motor vehicle. Heck, Florida does not require a drivers license for someone 18+ to operate a golf cart on a public road.
Electric bikes will eventually change that. No different in electric bike than moped or motor scooters. Some electric bikes don’t have peddles which put them in moto scooter status but they still look like bicycles. Just like no different between electric vehicles and gas powered vehicles.
