According to the reg's,
Motorgliders are a subset of Gliders and need a glider
license with an

Actually, the word 'motorglider' is completely absent
from FAR Parts 61 and 91 dealing with pilot certification
and basic Operating Rules. The two FAA references to
'motorgliders' with which I am acquainted lie in an
advisory circulars, which are non-regulatory.

The FAA uses the term "self-launch" - FAR 61.31(j)(1)(iii)
