  Review: FenSens Smart Wireless Parking Sensor (productReview)
  What is it? The FenSens is an aftermarket, wireless parking sensor. It allows drivers to modernise older cars. Although it's also ideal for those who didn't opt for parking sensors and change their mind when they realise how much easier parallel parking could be.

  Review: Thinkware F70 dash camera (productReview)
  In normal parking mode, the camera records 10 seconds before the sensor is triggered and 10 seconds after. If you plan to leave your car for a long period of time, like to go on holiday, the F70 can be set to Energy Saving Parking Recording.

  Review: Garmin Drive 51 LMT-S (productReview)
  To make the most of those extra features, you need to pair up a smartphone. Doing so adds live traffic updates and parking information too – but doesn’t enable handsfree calling, nor can you plan routes within your smartphone and send them to the Garmin, like you can with a TomTom system. And that, to us, is a shortcoming of the Garmin Drive 51.
• Review: Longjia LJ 50 QT-3L (productReview)
  Aside from the bargain basement price tag, to which you’ll have to the cost of courier delivery and registration, the Longjia’s 78kg weight makes it very easy to move around when pushing it into parking spots or out of the garage. You also have centre and side stands to that make it stable when parked up. On the road, the handling is much like any other budget 50cc scooter, so it’s fine and dandy around town, but you need to watch out for anything bigger than a pinprick because of the 10-inch wheels.

  Review: TomTom Go Camper (productReview)
  We found the parking feature to be great for finding camper van friendly places to park up for a couple of hours to explore a town or village. Priced at £380, the TomTom Go Camper is an expensive bit of kit and we’re not sure the additional functions really justify the extra cost compared to the cheaper Go 520 (£220) or Go 6200 (£299).

  Husqvarna Aspire R4 robotic lawn mower (productReview)
  Basically, it'll be fine outside unless it's parked in an area likely to flood.  It does lack obstacle detection however, so things left one the lawn will likely get shredded if the Aspire 4 can navigate over them...if you've got a dog, it's best to be very diligent with tidying up after them.

  Review: Kymco AK550 (productReview)
  Maxi-scooters are intended to be the do-it-all two-wheeler for all seasons and the Kymco AK550 gives this a mighty fine shot. Let’s start with the basics demanded of this type of bike. As a step-thru, it’s easy to sit on the AK550 as you just have to a lift a leg a little and drop down on to the seat, which has a height of 785mm.

  Review: YI Smart dash cam (productReview)
  Useful if you want to email it to people - like the police. Or if you really want to share that great bit of parallel parking you did on Facebook. Like the dash cam itself, the YI app is simple to use and feels very professional. One interesting extra the YI gets is an advanced driver assistance system - or ADAS.

  Review: Peugeot Metropolis 400i RXR 2017 Road Test (productReview)
  There are a few extra controls, including a switch to lock the bike upright when it’s stationary, an extra foot-operated brake and an electric parking brake, but aside from that it’s just a big scooter. A very stable scooter, too. Through corners the Metropolis is really confidence inspiring – you can crank it over into turns with almost carefree abandon.

  Review: Honda SH300i (productReview)
  Head onto freer flowing routes and the SH300i shows off another of its hidden depths in the way it handles. The looks might say plain commuter scooter, but from the saddle you can hustle it along in fine style. It’s balanced, agile and the standard tyres offer up more than sufficient grip to keep you entertained on the long way home. All of this praise for the SH makes it all the more frustrating when you discover its few flaws.

  Review: RazorX Cruiser electric skateboard (productReview)
  To cut a long story short, an  incredibly out-of-date 1835 law surrounding footpath use means that  if you're caught riding electric skateboards, e-scooters etc on roads, pavements and in parks, you risk being fined if caught by police. We're not entirely sure why the UK has yet to embrace the laws that other countries are adopting in regards to various forms of transport. However, the Future of Mobility consultation is examining new methods of transport to consider how the UK's infrastructure might adapt to these new technologies.

  Review: Thule Epos towbar bike rack (productReview)
  If you're an occasional user then this is a big investment and you might be better served looking at one of Thule's more affordable solutions, while there are roof bike rack systems to consider as well. However, if you're regularly heading off to events or bike parks with your pride and you, then the Thule Epos justifies the cost and you should expect many years of use from it. The best towbar bike rack you can buy right now.

  Review: Lexmoto Enigma 125 (productReview)
  For starters, the front indicators are blended into the handlebar fairing rather than on stalks so they are protected should the Lexmoto be knocked over when parked. There’s also a centre stand to make the most of those close-packed city bays.

  Review: Razor Crazy Cart Shift (productReview)
  While it can roll on a surface like a residential path, it's better for taking to your local park or basketball court where the tarmac is smooth enough not to give the wheels too much issue. However, if you plan to carry the Shift to the area you plan to use it, it's worth noting that it's front heavy because of the battery and electrics in the space below the steering wheel.

  Review: Sennheiser Ambeo smart headset (productReview)
  Aside from the aforementioned comfort issues, these don’t have a great deal of bass presence. The high frequency distinction is good, but it’s a fine line between that and sounding tinny, which the Ambeo occasionally do. Nice definition, but not much warmth. There are two ways of looking at it: that these are a quite average-sounding pair of headphones for the price, or the way its target market will probably see it, that these are a sophisticated bit of recording hardware that double as decent headphones.
