We understand that your bike is a prized possession and leaving it unattended, even when secured, can be risky. Scout provides unparalleled Bike security by combining both an extremely loud 85db bike alarm function with a highly accurate bike finder, using Apple’s ‘Find My’ app. The future of bike security is here.

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 (when in Bluetooth range).

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

  • Compatible with iOS only
  • Motion-sensitive 85 db audio alarm for immediate deterrence
  • Can be located quickly using Apple's 'Find My' app
  • Operated using Knog iOS app
  • Mounts to standard water cage braze-ons
  • Can be mounted under water bottle cage for discretion
  • Use supplied anti-tamper screws to mount securely
  • Neon silicone cover provided to advertise security device (if desired)
  • Arm / disarm using button (within 5 ft) on app within bluetooth range
  • LEDs show alarm status & battery charge
  • USB-C rechargeable with 2 to 6 month battery life (pending usage)
  • Low battery notifications when you have just 20% remaining
  • Water resistant IP66 rating (wash-proof)
  • Weights just 0.88 oz
  • USB-C cable is not included

If you want peace-of-mind that you've done everything you can to secure your bike, Scout is an essential piece of kit.

Protection & recovery

I fitted one to my new e-bike a year or two ago. It was so effective I bought one as a gift for a family member when he hit a big birthday.

Works as advertised

The Scout Alarm & Finder work as advertised - also through the Scandinavian winter. After using AirTags and known the hazel of changing batteries frequently the “change once every 2 months or so…” is an overseen bonus. I like that the alarm is not that easy to dismantle or unscrew for the casual bike-thief passing by if you use the supplied “thief-proof” screws.
The FindMy integration is flawless, but a notification that the alarm had been set off would be nice, but I guess the AirTag or FindMy protocol does not support this. You only get alarms on your phone, if you are within bluetooth range of your bike. For me that means I can touch it :-)
If the Knog app had an Apple Watch companion that made the arm/disarm action possible with out taking out my phone and able to to without taking my gloves off (by nose as all my Apple Watch interaction is handle during wintertime) would make it a five star review.

Got our bikes back!

Our tow e-MTBs were stolen from our carport overnight, even though thoroughly locked.
I looked up Find My Phone as soon as i discovered they were gone.
Called the police with the location, they were there in 20 minutes, returned the bikes to us in no time.
What a great device!
All our friends with Android phones will by Scouts when they work on Android!

I GOT MY BIKE BACK!!!!

Not just any bike. My dream bike with all of the trimmings!!! Bike was stolen from a locked garage along with 3 other bikes. I had AirTags in three bikes and a Scout on the newest bike. Thieves ditched the wedge bags with AirTags but didn’t realize the other bike with the Scout. Police involved and I got 2 of my road bikes backs after it moved from a random garage to a pawn shop. I had serial number and photos when we arrived at the pawn shop but the best is when I paired the alarm as a third layer of proof. $60 investment saved me THOUSANDS!!!!!

Effective and relatively simple

Just like an AirTag, it works well with my iPhone. Battery seems to last well

'Scout Bike provides unparalleled security for your prized possession.'

‘9/10 - An impressive device, with good battery life, a loud alarm, and accurate tracking.’

A Bike Alarm & Finder Like No Other

For improved security and recovery

Arming Scout Is Quick & Easy

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

Mounting & Securing

For overt protection use the neon yellow silicone cover provided. For more discreet security, attach Scout to the bike via the bottle cage mounts using the supplied tamper-proof security screws without the cover.

Dual Function LEDs

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

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.
