N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. tit. 8 § 566.6
All such vehicles must be registered in the same way as is any other motor vehicle, see section 566.3 of this Part, and they are subject to the same restrictions.
The law concerning motorcycles includes motorbikes and motorscooters and provides that any New York State driver's license-whether new or renewal-issued after October 1, 1964, must have a special motorcycle endorsement if the driver operates a motorcycle or class A moped, and a valid driver's license if a class B or C moped.
Anyone driving a motorcycle who does not have a motorcycle endorsement on their license or a class B or C moped with a valid driver's license may be arrested as an unlicensed driver. Anyone who allows the use of their motorcycle by a driver who does not have a motorcycle endorsement may be arrested for permitting unlicensed operation of the vehicle. Snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles may not be operated on university grounds without specific permission from the University Police Department.
