i think it is also true for the little noisey 4 wheeled fiberglass cars too.

I believe you only need a pushbike license as they only have 50cc engines

I dont think so, but, many older bikes do have a registration number plate, so maybe in the past you had to register bikes and maybe buy a license.

Yes you do, if it has a reg plate you need a license and insurance. It isn´t a normal driving license, you don´t need to go to driving school for it, check at your local council or GNR station where and how to get one. Some car licenses will allow you to ride a push or under 50cc3 bike. I believe it is depending on the year of issue

Sorry, I think I am confusing a bicycle with a pushbike, I was meaning a bike that you pedal and has no engine.

No you don´t need a license for a pedal bike. Saying that if you search on the internet in this country, 30 years ago, normal pedal bikes had reg plates and they also needed a license
