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。 8 m/ Q4 s6 l3 V* u% K * I' b1 r+ k, k: o( s3 i 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。 2 h) C7 u) U* q5 M x7 D2 ]7 C( v0 [: G1 \) Y- l4 U
斯泰勒称，由于骑这种车需要齐心协力，所以异性朋友们骑着它外出兜风时，甚至可能会彼此产生感情，坠入爱河。斯泰勒说：“这是一个将人们团结到一起的革命性方法，人们需要这种自行车，我认为好朋友们应该走出他们的汽车，离开他们的沙发，一起骑着这种自行车外出郊游！即使陌生人骑上这种车，不要几分钟也能成为朋友，异性朋友甚至能在骑车时坠入爱河，此外，你只需靠自己的能量———可重复更新的能量就能让它运转起来！” 6 B0 s- ^2 Q- G [$ B& Y6 u8 d3 e' O' s$ f& r
不过，这种7座自行车的价格可不低，据悉，一辆“7座自行车”的价格要高达5500英镑。 * q+ |$ i- Z8 _. F 5 T- r1 j( B3 G" a9 S4 D, @5 X+ E G& J, Z* c7 G

All seven riders can pedal, although the bike, which uses three motorbike wheels, can still move if one or more riders fancy a breather.

"People need this bike. I think people are ready to get out of their cars and off their sofas and get silly. 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. $ m( r$ [$ L# s- J/ c7 t4 e$ T9 S# f$ E' q, z0 s/ Q% I) J, H
