  Review: Thule Epos towbar bike rack (productReview)
  Honda ZR-V long-termer and it couldn't have been easier to set up. With our retractable towbar extended, it's simply a question of lowering onto it before fine-tuning the torque adjustment wheel before clamping it in place.  Plug it into the 13-pin socket and this relays the vehicle’s braking

  Review: Scalextric ARC One American Classics (productReview)
  . As a comparison, the latest standard set with two BTTC Cars is £100. While ARC Air and ARC Pro sets get more features like wireless controllers and a braking button, the ARC One is still really good fun for the price. The app adds an extra element which should give this plenty of life over the years. While

  Review: Peugeot eF01 folding e-bike (productReview)
  .  Supplied with a sturdy set of disk brakes on the front and rear, the Peugeot eF01 is easy to control at speed, but it does feel cumbersome at low speeds for tall riders (like myself at 6'2"). Indeed, with its high set seat and low positioned handlebars, it's easy to bounce a knee against the frame

  and confidence, and there’s lots of feedback too through the forks so you can make the most of the available grip on any road.

You also have the wide-set bars to lean on for cornering and manoeuvring the considerable weight of the G/S in town traffic. It’s not intimidatingly weighty, but you are aware this is a big

• Review: Vespa GTS 300 (productReview)
  . You also have ABS anti-lock brakes as standard on the GTS 300, which further go towards justifying the price of this Vespa. With discs front and rear, you have lots of stopping power and the confidence to use it. As for handling, the GTS 300 is light on its toes thanks to 12-inch wheels

  Review: Honda CB500X (productReview)
  of the 500X, the transmission works seamlessly and is much smoother than Honda transmissions have sometimes been in the past. The same polished perfection applies to the weight and action of the clutch, while the brakes are strong and responsive. They come with ABS as standard, which more adept off-road

  Review: Kawasaki Z-125 (productReview)
  and the six-speed gearbox’s ratios suit the power and delivery well. As for the brakes, the Z-125 comes with a single 290mm petal disc up front and 220mm disc at the rear. Nothing fancy here, but they work well and there’s ABS anti-locking to help newer riders gain confidence quickly and avoid

  Review: Giant Revolt 0 gravel bike (productReview)
  the shifters are more mid-tier RX-610 (think 105). Speaking of 105, the Revolt 0 uses a 105 cassette (11-34), Tigra-equivalent RX410 brakes and a FSA Omega Modular AGX+ crank.  The Revolt 0 uses Giant's own S-X2 disc wheelset, and these are fitted with   Maxxis Rambler tyres

  Review Lexmoto Tempest 125 (productReview)
  . The five-speed gearbox is decent, although can sometimes slip into false neutrals. Brakes are firm but, at this price, it's no surprise we don't get adjustable front forks. The twin rear shocks come with five-step pre-load adjustment only. There's no centre stand on the Tempest, instead, there's only

  Review: Char-Broil All-Star 120 B-Gas BBQ (productReview)
  provided. In terms of mobility, the BBQ has a little plastic wheel on each leg. It isn't that easy to move around but it's definitely easier than having no wheels  - plus, there are parking brakes in case you're worried about it rolling away. The top half of the barbecue comes with its own short
