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。 ' H7 F. @# ~( Q7 T& d Z

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！” . ]3 Q+ T) P4 M
