  据悉,这辆自行车拥有保时捷的方向盘、多个由踏板控制的水压刹车、一个停车刹以及车灯,这种7座自行车能够安全承载635公斤的重量,并以最高每小时24公里的速度行驶,所有7名骑车者都有脚踏板可以踩动,即使其中一两个乘客想偷懒休息一下,另外几人也能让这辆车继续前进。不过,7人中只能有一个人可以掌控方向盘。

  由于骑车者围坐一圈就像开会一样,所以这种新型自行车也被戏称作是“会议自行车”。不过发明者斯泰勒更愿意将这种自行车称作是“微笑机器”,他认为这是最具有社交性的交通工具。

All seven riders can pedal, although the bike, which uses three motorbike wheels, can still move if one or more riders fancy a breather. But one of the riders always has to man the steering wheel.

It lowers inhibitions and after a few minutes even complete strangers begin talking to each other. People have even fallen in love on these bikes. And you move along on your own energy - renewable energy," the Daily Mail quoted Staller as saying.
