12500. (a) A person may not drive a motor vehicle upon a highway, unless the person then holds a valid driver's license issued under this code....

You can use a Segway, an "electric personal assistive mobility device", 20 inches long by 25 inches wide, limited to 12.5 mph.

If you are disabled or senior, you can use a electric wheelchair.

Other than that, anything better than and including a "motorized scooter" (CVC407.5, a two-wheeled device that has handlebars, has a floorboard that is designed to be stood upon) such as a GoPed, DOES requires a driver's license.
