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 I6 {4 s2 W! ~* d6 [8 }

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。 3 g' g$ C+ B) U: \, D$ a

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！” ; i$ S. U0 h2 A; ~
