Electric scooters, bikes and cars

Visual Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (vSLAM) isn’t just confined to robot vacuums; it’s a technology that has also started making its way into the automotive world. Though not as prevalent as in smart home devices, vSLAM technology is beginning to emerge as an important tool in autonomous driving systems. As someone who keeps a close …

Nextbase just announced their new Nextbase IQ smart dash cam. If you look at the specs and features, this is undeniably the most advanced dash cam on the market. This is an early review. I have only had the camera for a few days, and it is still using a beta version of the app …

Nextbase, the UK-based global leader in dash cam technology, has announced the launch of the Nextbase iQ, dubbed the world’s first truly smart connected dash cam. Dash cams are not normally something to get overly excited about. They all typically have similar features, recording footage, measuring speed, and often plotting your route on a map …

Following on from the Tado Heat Pump Connector announcement, Tado has also revealed another money-saving device in the form of the Tado Smart Charging app. This intelligent home charging solution leverages fluctuating electricity prices to optimise when your electric vehicle (EV) charges. By doing so, it promises an average annual saving of €300 on EV charging …

Over the past couple of years, I have reviewed several electric bikes, including the affordable £499 250W Engwe T14 and going up to the 750W Cyrusher XF900 electric bike. People inevitably wonder how fast these bikes can go and what they are capable of. There is no accurate answer to many of these questions. A …

NVIDIA has a long history of developing automotive SoCs; starting back in 2015, they have now released or announced 11 reference boards, and they have partnerships with many big-name car manufacturers, including BMW, Mercedes, and Jaguar. MediaTek has been eager to break into this fast-growing market, which according to Gartner, is projected to be worth …

I haven’t reviewed a dashcam since 2019, so I have been a bit out of the loop with dashcam technology and the brands out there.   Vantrue was formed back in 2015, and they have quickly established itself as one of the best dash cam brands on the market. They have an extensive range of …

Acer has a habit of announcing some random products at its various global launch events. In the past, they have launched the impressive Predator Thronos Air gaming chair, a couple of years ago, it was the PredatorShot energy drink, they even announced the Acerpure Cool Air Purifier. This year it is an e-bike, which is …

I have reviewed a few Engwe e-bikes now, with the Engwe P26 being my most recent review last month. The Engwe T14 is something a little different from the standard foldable e-bikes I review. While it is still foldable, it is the smallest (not lightest) bike I have reviewed and is by far the cheapest. …

GoGoBest is one of the many new Chinese brands manufacturing affordable electric bikes. They were founded in 2019 in Hong Kong, with the factory based in mainland China and the main warehouse located in Poland. I have reviewed a lot of electric bikes over the past couple of years, and GoGoBest has one of the …

I previously published a guide on the best discrete lightweight belt-driven e-bikes. That post was inspired by my review of the Vanpowers City Vanture, which is a 15.5kg belt-driven bike that looks almost identical to a normal hybrid bike you will see out and about. I have reviewed a lot of e-bikes, but the Vanpowers …

In the past couple of years, I have reviewed quite a few electric bikes. I have found them all to be good and will work well if the bike suits your needs. However, most of the bikes I review don’t suit my specific preferences. I have always cycled for fitness, and I am a keen …

Engwe has mainly specialised in foldable electric bikes in recent years. I have previously reviewed the Engwe Engine Pro and the Engwe C20 Pro, being impressed with both bikes. They are now expanding the product range with the M20 full shock mountain motor e-bike that has a 750W motor cable of 1000w peak and a …

I previously reviewed the original ADO A20 ebike last year, and it was my first foldable electric bike from one of the many affordable Chinese manufacturers. I was impressed with it and sold on the idea of these for commuting and getting around cities. I much prefer electric bikes to electric scooters! The ADO A20 …

I have had an influx of eBikes to review recently. The Eleglide T1 Step Through is a little different from my previous reviews, with it being a step-through design which is ideal for people with mobility issues and is also a style that’s often marketed towards women. Specification UK Road Legal A few of the …

Back in August, I reviewed the excellent Engwe Engine Pro foldable electric bike. It was a bit of a beast with a  750W motor that is not restricted to UK speed limits and is capable of going up to 28mph / 45kph. It also weighed a massive 32KG and cost over £1200. As good as …
