With a three horsepower electric motor, neither the Peel P50 or Trident will be able to zoom past a Tesla Model S, but the vehicles’ 15-mile range and compact exteriors makes them perfect for dense cities like San Francisco or New York. Both models are street legal in the UK and US, but they aren’t cheap – with pricing starting at £12,999 ($21,575 US).

The enduring, cult appeal of 'Magic: the Gathering'
'Magic' is dizzyingly complicated, extremely technical, and—to the layman—completely incomprehensible. The year is 1998, and I am 9. After weeks of self-conscious indecision, I have at last worked up the courage to tell Mike—my father, a real adult who knows the value of money and games involving exercise and teamwork—what Magic: the Gathering is, and why I want to play it. “Will and Rob and Brian all do,” I explain, a nervous welter of sweatpants and sweat.
