cc in this context represents cylinder displacement, and is short for Cubic Centimeters.
49cc is pretty small, but apparently not exactly the smallest engine for a goped. Mopeds apparently have to be less than 50cc. A KIDS motorcycle will probably be over 80cc. A regular motorcycle is probably over 400cc. My first car was average for a low level 4door in 1983, and it was 1900cc.
Obviously, all things being equal, larger means more power.
Regarding laws, at least in california?

Scooters may be driven on bike paths and trails, but never on sidewalks. They can also be used on roadways with bike lanes, as well as n streets with no bike lanes and speed limits of 25 mph or less. When on a road with no bike lane, scooters should be ridden as close to the right hand curb as possible (unless passing or turning right).
