Girls who ride scooters

Please allow me to pick the collective brain of this board to research a particular asthetic that I am quite fond of. I am looking for Manga and or Anime in which girls ride (control them, not just sit on the back) motor scooters.
So far I've got:
Otae and Kagura from Gintama
Robin and Yurika from Witch Hunter Robin
Kanae Sumita from 5 Centimeters Per Second
Snow from Blassreiter
Larc from Top wo Nerae! 2
Natsumi Tsujimoto from You're Under Arrest
Reki from Haibane Renmei
Anna Aoi from Godannar
Kyou from Clannad
Haruko from FLCL
Alpha, Kokone and Maruko from Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou (did Matsuki ride too? I don't recall)
Miku Yamada from Saboten no Himitsu (Does she ever actually ride one in the manga, or is she only just depicted doing so on the covers?)
Ed from Cowboy Bebop
Futaba Ooki from Amanchu!
It doesn't have to be a regular thing for them, a one-off drive like Tae in Gintama is fine for me. And I define a motor scooter as something akin to a Vespa with a step through frame, but I'm willing to fudge the definition a bit for some unique machines like Natsume's Motocompo and Ed's powered Razor-esque machine. Full-on Motorcylces though are right out. Not that there is anything wrong with them, but it's just a completely different asthetic, isn't it?

Oh wow, I can't believe that Michiko to Hatchin isn't there. You can see in the trailer that Michiko's on her scooter quite a lot.

Whoops. Michiko was on my list, but I left her out of my post by oversight.
Bulma, huh? Thanks.
Tachu,
Yeah, I've read/watched Rideback and I wish someone would scanlate the rest of the volumes, but It would be really stretching the imagination to call a Rideback a Motor Scooter. 😉

Pink Haired girl in Paradise Kiss
I also think the main female lead in Gokinjo Monogatari rode her own scooter, at one point in the manga.
*sorry for not remembering the names, it was so hard only to remember the pure facts bows *

Kagura, Ga-Rei
Oh, good one. I can't believe I forgot her. Geez, Ga-Rei, FLCL, and Clannad all have a girl running over a guy with a scooter at their first meeting.
Thanks, grandexeno. I'll look into Paradise kiss.

If I'm not mistaken, I think Futakoi Alternative fits.

Ed is a girl. It's revealed at the end of the first episode she appears in.

Yes it does! And a brand spanking new scanlation too. 😉

Yeah, it looks like a Vespa, but it flies. Kind of a grey area there, but thanks for the suggestion.
