Not everywhere.
Where I am, you need a special license to drive a motorcycle, classified as having an engine of 51ccs or more, whereas a scooter is any motorcycle with a less than 51ccs and doesn’t require a special license.

That’s a moped, a motor scooter is just a style of bike.

Mopeds are similar but have pedals and can be used as a bicycle. The name itself, Mo-Ped" is a portmanteau for motor and pedal.
Motor scooters are different in that they have a cut out for the rider’s legs/ feet so they don’t have to straddle it the same way they would with a motorcycle. Both mopeds and motor scooters do not require a license endorsement here, while motorcycles, as defined in my original comment, do.

The definition in most countries is less than 50cc and a maximum power output, they do not need to have pedals. Anything over 50cc is a motorbike.
