Yes, you need. If you have the driving license you can show it. The driving license of any category is considered as a category for motorbike or scooter driving.
Note: if the Police officer is trying to stop you, keep in mind that this could be a usual blackmail. It is better not to stop and continue your way.
In a case you were stopped by the Police it is better to say that the motorbike/scooter belongs to your friend who gave you it to drive a little. Show the Police the driving license you have and stay cool. DO NOT call anyone and ague with Police officer – it is better to play the problem by ear. However we strongly recommend you to follow the simple rules of safety and obey the traffic regulations: wear the brain bucket, take your driving license and documents relating to the motorbike/scooter with you before taking to the wheel and do not drive too much fast.
