Do me a favor, those of you that don't have a clue, please don't answer. Especially those claiming no license is needed whatsoever.
--------------------------------------------------
Definition of a moped – A motor driven cycle whose speed attainable in one mile is not more than 30 miles per hour and that is equipped with a motor that produces not more than two-brake horsepower. If an internal combustion engine is used, the piston displacement may not exceed 50 cubic centimeters and the power drive system may not require the operator to shift gears.
Driver’s license for a moped – A moped operator’s license is required for operators of mopeds. A person must be at least fifteen (15) years old to be issued a license to operate a moped. The department shall examine applicants for that type of license by administering to them a written examination concerning traffic laws applicable to the operation of mopeds. No test involving the operation of the vehicle is required. All applicable provisions of this Act governing restricted operator’s licenses for the operation of motorcycles only also apply to moped operator’s licenses, including provisions relating to the application, issuance, duration, suspension, and cancellation of those licenses.

I'm pretty sure in most states you need to at least have a learner's permit. Contact your state's DMV by phone or check their web site and it will most likely list the requirements. I'm from MA, and they only require a valid learner's permit, but I think you have to be 18 to drive them at night - but MA driving laws seem to change daily, so I'd check with your DMV.

no if it is a moped you do not have to have a license at all
