一家德国公司最近制造出了一种具有7个座位的新型三轮自行车。 " N5 k. T3 y* j5 n% B- q& C2 O" P, `0 F W" E( |: D* N
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。 + ^: c8 B1 I) G; M) |5 {, R1 _* z2 x h- ~ J! ]0 v8 u 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。 4 E, e: J- p X3 S5 i!

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. * R* r+ |, ]3 k- w/ R; m3 P' i d0 H( i
Though the bike costs a whopping 5500 pounds plus shipping, Eric Staller, its inventor from Amsterdam believes it will be a success as it is the world's most sociable mode of transport./ l& P; D+ M0 H! N9 `

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.! B4 |" |$ v$ Y2 N
