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.

Customer Reviews
Easy to set up and use. Nice to have an extra deterrent.
This is a game changer for me having had three bikes stolen recently.
I have been using the Knog alarm for about 2 years now. Purchased after I got a nice commuter bike to keep it safe. Like the title says, its main flaw lies in it's own brilliance -> movement sensitivity. Unfortunately the alarm is unusable in crowded areas with lots of bikes as it's simple too sensitive. Any small rock and movement to your bike will set it off -> even when you set the motion sensitivity to 1 (low). Actually I am not sure if motion sensitivity 1 is low and 5 is high or vice versa.
Main issue is that it has a buffer on how many times it can get rocked before it sets off the alarm. It seems like it remembers all the movement and then the motion sensitivity setting is just a number of how many times does it detect motion before it starts beeping. Useful feature would be to allow it to "forget" a movement after say 5-10 seconds. This would allow the alarm to be more movement-tolerable in crowded areas where your bike (an thus the alarm) will get exposed to lots of micro movements.
App could use a few improvements:
- sometimes it doesn't allow me to enter the alarm settings and I have to restart it
- alarm sound preview would be nice so I don't have to trigger it each time to hear each alarm sound (there is approx 30-40 of them)
- better UX/UI for movement sensitivity -> is 1 low or is 1 high? Same for 5 -> is that highest sensitivity or highest tolerance
- allow adding of multiple alarms in case I have more then one bike I want to protect
Erstmal das Positive. Eigentlich finde ich es eine super Kombination, Alarm und GPS-Tracker. Das Design und Packaging ist meiner Meinung nach TOP. Die Einrichtung war für mich kinderleicht und lief wirklich Reibungslos. Außerdem finde ich es natürlich großartig, dass es mit keinem Abo gekoppelt ist. Ich würde gerne mehr als 3 Sterne geben, aber...
Am schwierigsten finde ich, dass der Alarm nur durch bluetooth "armed" und "dismarmed" werden kann und das man, wenn man mehr als 100 Meter (in Realität sehr viel weniger) entfernt ist nicht mal mehr Alarm-Benachrichtigungen bekommt. Ich kann also also der Ferne nicht entscheiden ob es ein Fehl- oder richtiger Alarm war. Kommt ja auch vor das jemand mal aus Versehen an das Rad kommt. Und ich sehe dementsprechend auch nicht live ob es bewegt wird.
Dazu kommt, dass die Standort Erkennung nicht genau genug ist, weil der Knog Scout nicht selbst die Position bestimmt, sondern darauf angewiesen ist, dass sich ein Apple-Gerät in der Nähe befindet, das ihn „sieht“.
Deshalb wäre hier ein Airtag sinvoller. Anders als ein AirTags unterstützt der Knog Scout kein „Precision Finding“ für zentimetergenaue Navigation im Nahbereich. Es wird auch von keiner Versicherung abgedeckt, da es kein richtiges GPS ist.
Also ist es leider am Ende ein nettes Gimmik, dass dir vielleicht hilft dein Bike wiederzubekommen. Aber eher unwahrscheinlich. Ein Airtag wird übrigens auch von keiner Versicherung abgedeckt.
Required to be within Bluetooth range to get alarms felt slightly misleading. In addition, the connectivity feels inadequate.
