Yes.
It is in Belgium, outside of built-up areas, and provided there's no bicycle path.

Electrics and under 50cc can be operated by anyone with a Class C license. The federal ruling only applies to safety standards, and not to registration or licensing applications.

The rules vary by state and country so check your local listings. Here in New York state only mopeds from certified manufacturers are legal with speed classes: A = 30mph+ and a motorcycle license; class B 20 to 30 mph and a driver's license; class C up to 20 mph. Technically you can be arrested on the spot for riding a pocket bike, electric scooter, or motorized bicycle, but the law is rarely enforced. Legislation allowing 20 mph electric bikes has been stalled in the NYS Senate for years. In contrast, in North Carolina anything under 30 mph is unregulated. I have spent my efforts in streamlining ordinary bicycles so that a 20 mph commuter ride does not require the fitness level of a club racer.

The State of Florida allows bicycles on sidewalks in general, though it also allow local governments to restrict it in certain areas.
