  Review: Peugeot Metropolis 400i RXR 2017 Road Test (productReview)
  With 37PS on tap it’ll beat most other vehicles up to 30mph, despite its fairly hefty weight, plus it’ll cruise along happily at motorway speeds, with some power in reserve to pass slow traffic. That’s even the case with a passenger on the back – and they’ll be quite comfortable there thanks to the spacious seat and foot rests.

  Review: Honda Forza 125 2017 (productReview)
  It's not just a bike for getting around town either – performance is surprisingly strong. In fact, if you give yourself a big enough gap for passing slow traffic, it’s quite happy cruising along the motorway at a steady 70mph - and without making an ear-piercing scream as the needle bounces off the rev-limiter. The Forza copes with corners well too.

  Review: Honda CMX 500 Rebel 2017 (productReview)
  width=500&height=333.33333333333337" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/16c384dbb7144bc5a6872a378a8ed27d" /> On the plus side, the engine is slightly ahead of the seat and the riding position means it, along with the air flowing through the radiator, keeps your legs warm on a cold day. But if you’re planning to ride the Rebel throughout the year then you’ll want to keep your stylish open-faced helmet at home through the winter.

  Review: James Bond's DB5 book (productReview)
  It's a very interesting read but you can also easily dip in and out of it, while those with a passing interest can enjoy the pictures. It retails for £40 but we've seen it on Amazon.co.uk for £24 which we think is a bargain. 

  Review: Ducati SuperSport 2017 (productReview)
  width=500&height=333.616298811545" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/401fc9abc93940aaa603e5d893ac877a" /> Peak power might not look impressive, next to latest crop of 200PS superbikes, but on the road the SuperSport is more than enough. Passing traffic is effortless and there’s enough drama in the power delivery and exhaust note to make riding a genuinely exhilarating experience - plus there are beautifully set up Brembo brakes that are strong and communicative.

  Review: Micro Suspension Scooter (productReview)
  What is it? Scooters aren't just for children and moody teenagers who haven't passed their driving test. You can also get models designed for grown ups, like this, the Micro Suspension. That's right, you too could be one of those 'cool' (i.e embarrassing) parents scooting with your kids to school in the morning and then bashing your shins as you attempt to get it in the front door.
• Review: Longjia LJ 50 QT-3L (productReview)
  For 16-year olds and learners on more restricted licences, this could be a cost-effective way to enjoy a simple 50cc scooter to pass your test on and then free up some more performance by derestricting it. Just remember to tell your insurer if you do this.

  Review: Moshi SnapTo Magnetic Car Mount with Wireless Charging (productReview)
  The Moshi iGlaze phone case for the iPhone XR is even more at £35 . On the plus side, the mount is Qi-Certified, meaning it's passed independent laboratory tests for safety, interoperability and energy efficiency.

  Review: Bridgestone Potenza Sport (productReview)
  Given the BMW we're using is rear-wheel drive, this is the real test for the Potenza Sport tyres. And they pass with flying colours. Even with a heavy right foot out of a low corner, there's no hint of the rear of the car becomin g unsettled with great traction and grip.

  Review: Suzuki SV650 2017 (productReview)
  width=500&height=333.33333333333337" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/30c19b36bc424d228be8938de8691b9d" /> Peak power is a decent 76PS and there’s plenty of low down torque, so acceleration is brisk enough to pass slow traffic and keep up with bigger bikes, plus it sounds fantastic even with a stock exhaust. One of the new bits of technology Suzuki has fitted is a low RPM assist, which raises the engine speed a touch when letting out the clutch, reducing the chances of stalling when pulling away.

  Review: Suzuki DL650 V-Strom 2017 (productReview)
  width=500&height=333.33333333333337" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/ba337bfea3d94854b53baf5d281bf94f" /> Another plus side is a 12V socket, positioned right next to the digital instruments. It's perfectly placed for hooking up a nav, while at the rear there is a luggage rack and a pair of chunky pillion grab handles.

  Review: Aftershokz Aeropex (productReview)
  The conduction pads also look a little strange sat on our cheekbones, but not enough to put us off buying them. On the plus side, the Aeropex are very comfortable; we often forget we have them on if we aren't listening to anything at the time. And they've never budged either, so we don't worry that they'll fall off while we run.

  Review: TomTom GO Essential (productReview)
  The spoken instructions are timed well with the prompts chiming in a reasonable amount of time before the action is needed, so there's none of that 'turn right' as you're passing the turning point malarky. The bar on the right side of the screen shows the details of your journey: time, distance left, petrol locations etc and also highlights any upcoming traffic on the route.

  Review: Nuna REBL (productReview)
  True it doesn't recline as much as you'd expect, but this is no better or worse than similar swivelling car seats. The materials used feel like they will easily last four years. And beyond if you're passing it down to a younger sibling. What may put new parents off is the fact it doesn't come out and attach to a pushchair like the majority of Group 0+ seats do. This does however mean you're less likely to leave your newborn in their car seat for longer than the recommended two hours.
