Review: Aukey DR02 dash cam (productReview)
It is a remarkably long cable, so there should be no problems getting it to reach all the way around from the top of the screen to the charging socket, and Aukey is one of the few manufacturers to provide clips to keep the cable in place. You will need to get to that socket, though, as there is no battery backup at all, and the DR02 needs to be plugged in to work and fires up when the ignition is turned on. Transferring the files off the Aukey should be possible in two ways.
Review: Mio MiVue 658 WiFi dash camera (productReview)
However, this fuction requires an optional Smartbox accessory to provide enough power for long term use without draining the car’s battery. The free MiVue Manager software is free and easy to download to your computer. You can also transfer video clips from our smartphone to your computer and share via social media and YouTube.
Top 10: Scooters 2020 (Article)
Vespa Elettrica Vespa came up with the blueprint for the scooter, but the Elettrica marks the biggest change in the Italian’s history. Don’t panic, the looks stay the same with its swoopy lines, but now there’s a battery-powered electric model in the line-up. With a 2kW motor, the Elettrica has more poke than 50cc fossil-fuelled rivals and the instant delivery makes it a handy city commuter tool. With this in mind, the Vespa can travel up to 62 miles on a full battery and it can be completely recharged from a domestic socket in four hours.

Serious cyclists will want more features, but it's a great gift for the casual bike rider. The Beeline offers a great battery life and there’s a built-in sense of fun about it.

It features pressure sensor alerts so you when you're brushing too hard to ensure that you don't damage your teeth and gums, as well as smart brush head replacement reminder alerts. There are three cleaning modes and a two-week battery life, and you get a travel case as well.

It's far more powerful and can hold more dust and debris than the previous V8. We only got around 20 minutes of vacuuming time before the battery went flat though, and there's no getting around that price tag (ouch), but it really is top of its class in performance. Plus, it's likely to last you a few years so it's a decent investment if you think of it in those terms.
Top 10: Gifts under £50 (Article)
If you want to track a car, you’ll need to buy the optional magnetic case (£25) if you want to make it fully waterproof and stick it in the wheel arch. Or for a fiver less you could buy an official car hardwire kit, that’ll also prevent the battery from running out. You can also use the Nano in your own car for security reasons. On that basis, it’s very cost effective indeed. Using the desktop site you can set up ‘geofence zones’ that allow you to place markers on the map so that if the tracker goes outside of them you’ll be alerted.

Review: Haynes Fakeaway Manual (productReview)
Haynes has long been known as a maker of vehicle manuals, but it's branched out into what it calls 'lifestyle' manuals in recent years — and they're surprisingly good. While you can still get Haynes manuals to help you figure out how to change the battery in your Mk4 Golf, you can now also get Haynes manuals that span sports, science fiction, cooking and more. Haynes Fakeaway Manual coincides with the recent trend of cooking your favourite takeaway at home, so it's now super easy to get that authentic taste at a fraction of the price.

Review: Pure Highway 600 DAB radio (productReview)
The main control module for picking stations, taking calls, accessing audio streaming and changing settings is wireless. It has easy-to-change, long-lasting AAA batteries and can be fitted wherever is convenient. If you take a little time you can perform a very clean installation without any tools at all – although an auto electrician could hard wire the system if needs be.
Review: Alcosense Excel breathalyser (productReview)
In the box is the unit itself, which is physically identical to the pricier Pro and the Ultra breathalysers also made by Alcosense, except for the glossy white finish. Three AAA batteries are supplied, along with five disposable mouthpieces, a USB cable for installing software updates and a manual. Initial set up is easy – simply enter the current date and time and set the limit for your home country.

It also has the added benefit of attachments for inflating things like lilos or balls, which can be extremely handy when away on a camping trip.

Top 10: Gifts for Petrolheads 2019 (Article)
Much like a dash camera , it's much better to have the device and not need it than wish you'd had it after a tyre blows out and leaves you stranded. This offering from Michelin is simple to fit and use with no batteries to change in the sensors or display unit and no cables to route around your vehicle. Tyre pressure readings are accurate and there's a loud beep when the wheels get rolling to let you know the TPMS is up and running.

Review: Razor E-Prime electric scooter (productReview)
Another pleasant note to make about the E-Prime is that it's very quiet on the move, just quietly whirring at full speed. A five-stage, multicoloured battery indicator sits near the folding mechanism, which is also where you'll find the power button. To fold the scooter up and down, we just unscrew the cap and then push it downwards - when it's locked into place, it clicks.

Handily it charges up from either a three-pin or a 12v car socket, so if the LEDs start to dim you can brighten them up without going on a mission to find a new set of batteries. It is cheap and cheerful, but it does the job. It would be just as at home in the boot for emergencies as in the camping box in the attic, for your rare forays into the wilderness.
Review: Topeak E-Booster Digital electric pump (productReview)
Again, this extender hose comes with connections for both Presta and Schrader valves. Charged via USB-C, the battery is good for 3 x 100PSI inflations, or 4 x 80PSI inflations (for 700 x 25c tires), while mountain bike riders can expect 4 x 30PSI inflations if running 29 x 2.35 tyres. Finally, there's a silicone case supplied to protect against overheating, and when not in use you've got the choice of a storage bag or waterproof pouch to keep it safe during your ride.
