Overview

Leaving a bike unattended, even when secured, can be risky. This is why Knog designed Scout Bike Alarm & Finder.

Scout provides unparalleled Bike security by combining both an extremely loud 85db bike alarm function with a highly accurate bike finder, all designed specifically for use on bikes.

Once armed, any movement of a Scout fitted Bike will trigger the motion-sensitive audio alarm discouraging any further movement and alerting the bike’s owner, both by the sound of the alarm and via a notification that is automatically sent to the owner’s iPhone.

Then in a scenario where a bike fitted with Scout is not where the owner has left it, its location can simply be traced using Apple’s network via the ‘Find My’ app.

Mounting & Securing

With Scout, there’s the choice of overt or discreet security. To advertise that the bike is fitted with Scout, simply use the neon yellow silicone cover provided. For more discreet security, attach Scout to the bike via the bottle cage mounts using tamper-proof security screws without the cover.

Mounting With A Bottle Cage

Scout’s extremely low profile and compact design allows for it to be neatly bolted and hidden underneath a bottle cage. This is a great way to keep Scout hidden for even more discretion.

Arming & Charging

Arming or disarming the Scout alarm is made simple and can be achieved in two ways; via the button on the side of the device when the connected iPhone is in close proximity (<1.5m) or via the Knog app when the device is within Bluetooth range.

Enjoying up to 6 months of battery life between charges, Scout only requires charing twice a year. When Scout’s battery does require a charge there is no need to remove the unit from the bike, it’s simple to recharge using a USB-C cable via Scout charging port housed behind a water-proof silicone bung.

LEDs & Waterproofing

Scout feature’s dual function LEDs that show at a glance if the Scout is alarmed. The same LEDs also display the charge status of the battery.

Scout has a water resistant rating of IP66, which means that it can be left in the rain, used in the rain and handle jet washing without affecting its functionality.

An idea born long ago, now brought to life using the latest technology.

Scout is an absolute game-changer in bike security.

Piece of Mind

I purchased the Scout Bike Alarm & Finder because I ride my bike to various Gardens around my city. Sometimes this means I have to leave it for an hour as I walk along my route. I feel much better having the alarm and locator ready to pull up on my phone.

Good, but could be way better

It's a good product, and I believe it does the job it intends to do. I haven't fone through a situation myself though. Improvements that could be done:
1) the scout should be shareable with more than one device - smartphone. e.g. it would be great if both my wife and I could independently arm or disarm the scout.
2) the scout should have the capability to connect to Apple Home Kit or some other IoT hub in order to warn in case the alarm goes off when the Bluetooth is out of range. There's no way to know if the alarm went off or if someone is trying to steal your bike when you're out of the range. My bikes are in my cellar and despite I have wi-fi coverage there, there's no way to be warned if someone breaks into my cellar and tries to steal my them.

Scout Bike Alarm & Finder

The “BEST” thing for my bike. Thank you Scout.

Perfect fit

I have an electric bike for a year now, fully protected with lockers (blocking the tire and a heavy one) but I was missing something and I’m glad I found this at my bike shop.

The AirTag system is cool but you guys are genius the way you implemented it to the bike.

The alarm is the feature I was missing mostly at home now I can sleep peacefully and leave my bike in the cabin.

The installation is not so easy, even the QRcode is helping a lot. I feel like it should be friendly to set up for a new version in the future maybe.

But great job overall

I already convinced my dad, my brother and probably my colleagues at work 👏
