　　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。  csuchen.de6 f3 s' M) e( p! {$ p$ 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！”  $ A* A# L) ^7 x. z

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.6 x0 U; ^/ P0 U

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.  o2 t" B' f, T2 B% @+ f( _

"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.: G9 `& Y5 o! a0 b
