COMMUTE & ADVENTURE

5 PURE AIR PRO

Things are still evolving in the

electric scooter space, but the Air

Pro, from UK builder Pure, seems

WRKDYHKLWRQDĆQHIRUPXODLWèV

remarkably stable with smooth

acceleration, and is tough enough

to withstand the elements. With

e-scooter regulations set to

loosen, now could be the best time

to hop on board.

pairs a hydroformed aluminium

motor package. Hydraulic brakes,

3 GOPRO HERO 9 BLACK

GoPro’s strongest-ever HyperSmooth

stabilisation and a new front-mounted display

highlight the latest upgrade in the action cam

leader’s strong lineup, making this perfect

both for extreme outings and for framing

yourself perfectly in sensor-forward vlogging.

That sensor gets an upgrade, too, bumping the

resolution up to 23.6 megapixels.

2 NEXTBASE 622GW

Nextbase’s rise to the top of the dashcam

market is fully deserved when it puts out

products like this. It shoots the road in anything

from 4K at 30fps to 1080p at a slo-mo friendly

120fps, with digital image stabilisation to

ensure bumps in the road don’t affect that pin-

sharp footage. And it also has top-quality night

vision and extreme weather compensation.

£250, nextbase.com

1 GARMIN INSTINCT SOLAR

The chunky Instinct Solar is both a practical

and useful multi-sports watch made for the

outdoors, and one of the best monochrome

smart watches you can get because of its

outrageous battery life. Garmin’s innovative

Power Glass trickle-charges the batteries to
