the SEPTOCYCLE

Ok so before the ROCKTOCYCLE was the SEPTOCYCLE... here are some videos of it. Here's a photo of us out in the desert:


And here is text from a flier that I handed out this year at Burning Man '07:

More accurately called a seven-seat quadricycle, this thing was built in Germany. It was dreamt up by Eric Staller, an New York artist based in Amsterdam who specializes in urban UFOs. If you’d like to know how much they cost, check out:

Please don’t ask me, I’m trying to forget how much I paid for it. Actually I have no regrets. It’s way more fun than a sports car!
The real name is Conference Bike, but that sounded a little too official so I started calling it the Septocycle. Then after mounting a kiddie drumset on the back I started calling it the Rocktocycle.
Unfortunately, I can’t answer your technical questions, because I didn’t build it! The bike is propelled entirely by pedaling. The music is powered by a little boat battery in the back. It was shipped from Germany to NJ on a boat, and then to Reno in a truck! more info:
