Does Doug's bike qualify for
this trope, or is it "merely" a Flying Motorcycle?

Actually, it does. The wheels are on cantilevers and when Doug wants maximum power they swing up (one to the left, the other to the right) and expose thrusters/emitters/whatever you want to call them.
Why it does that is honestly Rule of Cool, both in-universe and out. (Skuld and Megumi went a little overboard.) But yeah, it qualifies.
