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！” d& `6 T% T4 W' j; f/ U0 ^% L# R 4 B, q, t1 a" K 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。 & A9 O1 U4 f5 {0 ~* p1 Z% w6 E# z) }; i6 `4 G' F
