  Review: Yamaha NMAX 125 (productReview)
  width=500&height=333.33333333333337" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/90777e8fa1d14a85b7680e0e4b209e59" /> Above the storage pouches you’ll find a clear and simple dash with digital display for speed, fuel and temperature. There are all the expected tell-tale warning lights and the small cowl over the dash pod keeps rain off the display. If you want to keep more of the weather away from yourself, you’ll need to invest in the optional taller screen.

  Review: Honda SH300i (productReview)
  However, you get used to it and we found the SH300i was perfectly comfortable over the longer distances it’s easily capable of travelling. You also get a 9.0-litre fuel tank that offers a range of around 180 miles thanks to a claimed 94.0mpg. In the real world, reckon on around 150 miles between fills. Review: Honda NSC 50 E Vision (productReview)
  You get a bag hook, too, while the dash above is as bare bones simple as the rest of the bike with a speedo, odometer and fuel gauge. As for the switchgear, it’s laid out exactly as you’d expect and operates with a typically Honda feel of precision. And that sums up the Vision 50. It is prototypically Honda in its approach to the 50cc scooter class.

  Review: Navdy head-up display (productReview)
  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. Once you delve a little deeper, you can configure what kind of notifications you want to receive from your phone, to minimise distracting updates, like Twitter follows.

  Best classic car insurance for imported vehicles from Japan, America (Article)
  Cars such as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camro and Impala, Corvette Stingray, Dodge Charger all have a huge fan base in the UK. But as well as their gigantic size (and equally gigantic fuel consumption), owning an imported classic can also present a headache when it comes to insurance. That’s because insuring classic cars that have been imported can be more expensive than you might expect.
• ELECTRIC CARS: Is an EV right for me? (FAQs)
  Offers 0-60 in 10 seconds, 80mph top speed, better handling than petrol i-car because batteries are mounted in the floorpan and fuel costs of just £50 for 10,000 miles of electricity.

  Review: MASH Black Seven 125 (productReview)
  The MASH Black Seven 125 is — as the name suggests — a 125cc motorcycle from French retro bike brand MASH. It's Euro 4 compliant, meaning it features fuel injection, combined braking and a noticeably higher price than you might expect. So, it only makes sense to compare the Black Seven to another Chinese brand's 125, like the Lexmoto Tempest 125 .

  Review: Lexmoto Enigma 125 (productReview)
  Top whack is 60mph, so you could travel further afield if needed and the engine is happy to whirr away smoothly. Ridden in mixed conditions, we saw fuel consumption close to the claimed 100mpg combined average. Another point in favour of the Enigma as a sound city choice is its 14-inch wheels and tyres. These are an inch or two larger than most scooters in this class and endow the Lexmoto with ride quality way beyond what most rivals can offer.

  Review: Honda Forza 300 (productReview)
  Some may wonder why a 25PS scooter needs this addition, but with a 14-inch rear wheel and slippery roads, we’re more than happy to have it there as a safety net between us and toppling off unceremoniously. The 25PS is generated by the same 279cc fuel-injected single-cylinder motor as found in the SH300i, so it’s well proven and easy to live with. For this latest Forza, Honda has tweaked the CVT (continuously variable transmission) settings so there’s more mid-range urgency when you open the throttle.

  Review: Scalextric ARC One American Classics (productReview)
  width=500&height=332.9166666666667" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/dd41250adc3a43f7a5ceb68b9bafae6d" /> One of our favourite features is the F1-style starting lights (complete with your reaction time). As well as highlighting who is in the lead and what lap you're on, it also shows fuel level and tyre wear. So during a race, you'll need a pit stop while you wait for your car to be refuelled (and get new tyres) before continuing. Don't do that and you'll end up with a DNF, bringing tactics into your Scalextric racing.

  Review: TomTom Rider 550 (productReview)
  We also like the display bar on the right-hand side of the screen that shows vital information on fuel stations, speed cameras and about the route. An  anti-theft device  comes standard with the Premium Pack, but it'll cost you £50 as a separate purchase.
• Review: Vespa GTS 300 (productReview)
  With a slightly more conservative approach to pace and throttle use, Vespa reckons you can get a combined fuel economy of 85.0mpg. During our time on the GTS 300, that was nearer 70mpg, but it’s still good for a scooter of this performance and capacity. With an 8.5-litre tank, you should also steer clear of petrol stations for prolonged periods.

  Review: Peugeot Django 125 2017 (productReview)
  We tested the 125cc version, since it’s the one most people will buy. The engine is a simple, air-cooled single-cylinder with fuel-injection, linked to a typical twist and go automatic transmission. It’s a tried-and-true scooter recipe and it works well here. The Django is incredibly easy to ride, and yet it has a surprising turn of pace, with 60mph easily within reach and just a touch more in reserve if needed.

  Cheap van insurance for food vans and mobile catering (Article)
  If you’ve purchased specialist cooking equipment or a one-of-its-kind coffee machine then you may need to upgrade your cover. If you plan to use gas to fuel your cooking equipment then check what the stipulations are for the insurance policy. Some providers might insist that the canister is stored away from the van overnight, while others will simply ask for it to be turned off.

  Sat nav buying advice guide (Article)
  Points of interest: Most sat navs have a ‘POI’ database, which includes the location of facilities such as petrol stations, hotels, museums and so on. This makes it easy to find your way to, say, a petrol station if you’re running low on fuel. What other features might I want to look out for? Speed limits: Not sure what the current speed limit is? This can help you out by showing what the posted limit is for where you’re driving.

  Cheap van finance and advice (Article)
  Another big positive of a contract hire vehicle is that maintenance is usually included in the agreement, saving you a significant sum of money as well as time and effort. Other than the cost of fuel, a contract hire allows you to plan for a fixed cost over the duration of the term. Finally there are specific financial benefits to contract hire compared to other means of purchase or rental.

  Review: Thule Force XT Sport (productReview)
  We found ours created an annoying whistle, but a quick prod and push of the rubber runners soon sorted this out. As with the Motion XT Sport, we found fuel economy dropped by about only 1mpg. Should I buy one?

  Top 10: Best robot lawn mowers of 2020 (Article)
  Miimo squares up incredibly well on price here, as even Honda's base-model ride-on will set you back £3000+. During the mowing season, it wouldn’t be unusual to spend £60-£70 on fuel, plus £250-£300 on a service — whereas the Miimo can charge itself, again and again, all year long for around £15 and requires next to no maintenance.  Alternatively, if you have someone who comes in to cut your lawn, this mower should pay for itself within about three years.

  Review: Peugeot Kisbee 50 (productReview)
  When you add in the Kisbee’s claimed average economy of 108.4mpg, which we found equated to a real-world 100mpg as we made full use of the performance, it’s as cheap to run as most rivals. Equally pleasing to our miserly side is the 6.8-litre fuel tank that has a markedly larger volume than almost any other scooter in this class. We’ll save you taking your shoes and socks off to do the arithmetic and tell you that means a potential range of 282 miles between fill-ups.
