Scout Bike Alarm & Finder
Decibels (dB) are used for measuring the relative loudness of sounds. Our bells and alarms are 80 & 85 dB respectively, which together with their tone, cuts through the noisiest of environments, while remaining below a harmful dB level.
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.

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 quickly located using Apple’s network via the ‘Find My’ app.

We have been using AirTags on our bikes for a while but Knog’s Scout takes it to the next level combining an alarm and FindMy tracking. Will be buying them for all of our bikes!
Packaging: Clever and sustainable.
Security Screws: Great if you don't have Hexlox, not as good if you DO have Hexlox and don't want to keep track of another security screw key.
Hi-Vis Cover: Debatable in value. Would be better if it had holes so it can be secured by the screws.
Device Hardware: A little bulkier than I expected after mounting my bottle cage. I like the easily accessible charging port. I would prefer that the button was inset and under the hardware since it needs to be pressed to reset the device.
Setup: Easy.
Audible Shake Alarm: For my use case,the shake alarm is way too sensitive so I have it turned off. I work at a massive bicycle friendly university and people bump into others' parked bikes all the time. Also, if my bike gets stolen, I don't want to alert the thief to the tracker as he may start bashing it and damage my frame. I prefer a stealth alarm to my phone that allows me to direct the police to the thief.
App: No bugs that I can find. Adjusting the settings is a little confusing. One settings screen is accessible using the menu "cog" graphic, but the other one is by the "Knog Scout" label using the traditional three-dot graphic. The two settings screens should be merged. Additionally, the alarm settings can be a little clearer to differentiate between the Scout volume, Phone Volume, and Phone Volume via Headphones.
When selecting the Alarm Tone (phone), it should give you the option to hear the tone (I don't know what they all sound like).
When selecting the shake Alarm Tone to come from the Scout, that too should be audible from the phone simply because the user may not be near the Scout to hear the tone and decide.
Wish List: (1) Geo-fencing. More than a shake alarm, I want to be alerted if my bike is X feet away from where I originally left it. That way I can immediately call the police and tell them that I'm actively tracking my stolen (and registered) ride. (Which matters where I'm from because the police enjoy catching bike thieves.) (2) Different color covers to blend in with bottle cage or frame (again, with the holes for the screws to go through).
Something Weird: My Scout will "chirp" from time to time while I'm riding my bike. I don't know why and I don't know how to disable the chirp.
If you want to buy an AirTag but don’t know how to add it on the bike, then this is the solution. there is no place on bike where an AirTag can fit securely and still retain full signal. This product solves that issue and a perfect solution.
I appreciate the thought and detailed execution that went into the Scout.
Many Thanks!
