Yamaha to Produce PES1 and PED1 Electric Motorcycles by 2016

Yamaha announced plans to release the production versions of its PES1 and PED1 concept models within two years as part of the company’s plans to enter the electric motorcycle segment.

As it looks fairly impossible and time consuming I'm putting the challenge out for anyone to go out and complete the paper model themself.
