You can buy it at There Auction.

Ride the first user-modeled hoverbike in There. 

This jaguar bike is loosely based on a real origami model.  By the way, Swen_Wu_Kong came up with the idea of modeling origami objects in There half a year ago.  I am grateful for his insight, thus he is the featured rider of the first origami bike :)

Following are screenshots of the Jaguar bike from third-person perspective.  Notice that these screenshots were taken before actual submission.  I have darkened and slightly saturated the skin tone in the actual submission.

Following are first-person view of the bike.  Yeah, you'll be staring mainly at the behind of the jaguar while your ride your bike.  Sorry.

These are nice people who helped me test the bike in world:

If you want to know how I started with this project, look at these real life pictures of origami lioness:
