If you're looking at electric bicycles at the moment, then you may not be sure whether to go for a pedal-assisted model or not.

Whether you are a first-time owner of a ski boat, sailboat or even a yacht, at some point you will need to place your vessel into storage to protect it from the harsh forces of winter. What you do before that 'long winter's nap' is important to make sure corrosion, rust and frozen moisture does not come back to haunt you once spring and summer roll back around.  Both wintry conditions and long-term storage accelerate wear and tear, contribute to a boat's breakdown and can lead to a hefty repair bill.

Some people see motorcycles as inherently dangerous, and it's for that reason many parents will happily buy their child a car when they're old enough but are opposed to them getting a bike.

What do you need to bear in mind so that you don't blow your budget on unnecessary repairs?
