  • Review: Lexmoto Enigma 125 (productReview)
    . A turn of pace like that makes the Lexmoto ideal for urban journeys, which is where it’s intended to excel. 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
  • Review: Honda Forza 300 (productReview)
    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
  • Review: Scalextric ARC One American Classics (productReview)
    . 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
  • 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
  • Review: Vespa GTS 300 (productReview)
    of fending off the rain and road muck from vehicles in front. 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
  • Review: Peugeot Django 125 2017 (productReview)
    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

    , but the amount of money you will get (in the event of a claim) will vary. 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

    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
  • Cheap van finance and advice (Article)

  • Review: Thule Force XT Sport (productReview)
    expect, but it's not really any more intrusive than that produced by the roof bars. 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

    £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

  • Review: Kymco AK550 (productReview)
    hefty 226kg. That needs fuel added to the overall total, so the AK is no lightweight but then few maxi-scooters are. As we said, this doesn’t really matter as the AK550 carries its heft very low in the chassis to make it easy to wheel around in the garage or when pushing it into a parking bay
