  Review: Honda PCX 125 (productReview)
  If anyone ever tells you a scooter can never be a complete replacement for a car in town, just point them in the direction of the Honda PCX 125. Aside from all the usual scooter advantages, the Honda is more than up to year-round use and can carry two people from one side of town to the other more quickly and comfortably than many cars.

  Review: Ring RTC2000 Cordless Handheld Tyre Inflator (productReview)
  There's a digital display plus you can pre-set the pressure and just leave it to get in with the job. There are also four memory settings which is handy if your car has different pressure back and front, or simply if you're using it for different cars and bicycles.

  Review: 70mai 4K Omni dash cam (productReview)
  Setting the camera up is pretty straightforward but the first thing you'll notice is that rather than a suction mount (our preferred method) the 70mai 4K Omni has an adhesive mount. It means this isn't a dashcam that can be moved between cars but it's not going to be an issue if you're hardwiring it in. The camera does twist off the mount if you want to hide it away. Usefully, in the box you do get spare adhesive pads for both the front and rear camera.

  Review: Honda CB650F (productReview)
  width=500&height=333.3333333333333" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/fcd713037775410497b8d3dd0398bf85" /> With the rider’s body tilted forward, it makes motorway riding easier as the wind is directed over the small front fairing and on to your chest to give support. At lower speeds, your wrists don’t ever ache with the extra weight they have to support. The seat is well padded and the saddle height of 810mm is low enough for most, while all of the controls have a positive, light action.

  Review: TomTom GO Essential (productReview)
  But for most people, as long as you have a smartphone and big chunk of data on your contract (and preferably Apple CarPlay or Andriod Auto in your car), we think a free app - even standard Apple Maps - can do a good enough job of getting you from A to B.

  Review: Micro Wagon (productReview)
  A few things to note though, if you're tall you'll find the handle a little low and it would benefit from a hoop type handle rather than a t-bar. If you can't park your car near your house, the Micro Wagon can come in really helpful, especially if you have a boot full of shopping and a tired toddler to deal with. It's here where we've used the Micro Wagon the most, saving us having to do trips back and forth to the car - and much whinging from a grumpy three-year-old.

  You can also use certain Google Now or Siri voice control features and see your true GPS speed plus, on most cars, a tachometer and fuel gauge. You can also reply to messages via voice, plus you can dismiss or open notifications (called ‘Glances’) by gesture, swiping your hand across the front of Navdy to accept or dismiss.

  Fristee 2-pack back seat car organiser Unless you can stretch to something that requires a HGV licence, space is always at a premium inside your motorhome, which is why these inexpensive organisers by Fristee make so much sense.

  Top 10: Track Experiences (Article)
  Virgin Experience Days Skid Control Even the best teacher in the world would struggle to sell the idea of learning being fun, but a day behind the wheel of a skid control car will change your mind. Available at four locations across the UK, this experience will see you pummelling the steering wheel of a specially-adapted car that can simulate a loss of grip at the front and rear - or both - to give you a taste of aquaplaning, understeer and oversteer.

  Top 10: Parking aids (Article)
  There is a newer version that is a little more expensive but converts the signal to digital for improved clarity. CAR ROVER Universal Rear View Backup Camera If the headline price of £8.99 seems pretty cheap, it is - but there is a small caveat. Car Rover offers a selection of parking aids, including a front and rear camera and a wireless transmitter if you don’t fancy installing a lot of cabling.

  EGO LM1701E cordless mower (productReview)
  The EGO LM1701E features a large 55-litre collapsible grass box that comes with a full indicator, while there's some front-mounted lights to help guide your way when it's overcast or at dusk.  Tipping the scales at 25kg, the EGO LM1701E isn't the lightness piece of kit, but if you have an undulating or sloping lawn, there's also a self-propelled variant available in the shape of the EGO LM1701E-SP.

  Review: Carrera Crossfire 2 hybrid bike (productReview)
  The Carrera Crossfire 2 is comfortable to ride on varying surfaces thanks to the Suntour NVX front suspension forks, offering 75mm of travel to easily handle off-road terrains like hills, stones and tree roots. There's also a pre-l oad adjuster, which lets you adjust the stiffness of the forks, but it can still sometimes feel a bit too bouncy when coming off kerbs and the like.

  Review: Triumph Street Twin (productReview)
  It’s just a shame the switch itself isn’t the most intuitive to find without looking down from the road ahead. Still, the single front disc is more than up to stopping the bike and the ABS system’s intervention is well judged. Riders stepping up from an A2 licence will find the Street Twin the ideal transition to bigger bikes and Triumph still offers an A2 restrictor kit if you haven’t passed the full test as yet.

  Review: Wahoo ELEMNT Bolt GPS bike computer (productReview)
  In the box, you'll find the main ELEMNT Bolt unit, a mount to fit to the front of your bike and a quick start guide.  Technology offering as many features as the ELEMNT Bolt can often be overwhelming, even for the most savvy of users, b ut we were pleasantly surprised by how easy the Bolt was to set up.

  Review: Suzuki GSX-S125 (productReview)
  Even I could get both feet flat on the ground (I'm 5'7"). The Bosch ABS system kicks in if you use your front brake at low speed, but is otherwise unobtrusive. And, as for the bike's looks, you have to decide that for yourself. It looks great to us, but it won't be to everyone's taste.

  Best new vans for 2018 (Article)
  Peugeot Partner On sale: Mid-2018 The sister van to Citroen’s Berlingo, the Partner goes into production in mid-2018 and has an interior heavily influenced by the 3008 Crossover. Expect it to be one of the most car-like vans on the market to drive, as it also shares the mid-size architecture found beneath PSA Group’s cars. As per the Berlingo, an electric version is expected pretty much from the outset. Renault Alaskan On sale: Late 2018 (TBC) It's hoped that 2018 will be the year we'll finally see the Renault Alaskan in the UK.
