| Description | 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 quickly located using Apple's network via the "Find My" app. Features - 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. - Arming Scout Is Quick and Easy: 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 (less than 1.5 m) or via the Knog app when the device is within Bluetooth range. - Mounting and 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 Specifications - Motion-sensitive 85 db audio alarm for immediate deterrence - Can be located quickly using Apple's "Find My" app - Operated using Knog's iOS app - Mounts to standard water cage braze-ons - Can be mounted under water cage for discretion - Use supplied anti-tamper screws to mount securely - Neon silicone cover provided to advertise security device (if desired) - Weight: 25g - Rechargable: Yes, via USB-C input (cable not included) - Run time: 6 months - Charge time: 4 hours - LEDs show alarm status and battery charge - Water resistant: Yes, IP66 - Dimensions: 10.7 x 2.5 x 0.8 cm (4.2 x 1.0 x 0.3 inches) - Operating temperature: -20 to 50 °C (-4 to 122 °F) - Compatible with: iOS only (iPhone, Apple Watch and iPad) - N.B. functionality is NOT affected by magnetic bottle cage systems such as Fidlock If you want peace-of-mind that you've done everything you can to secure your bike, Scout is an essential piece of kit. Knog Scout Bike Alarm and Finder review, road.cc (see here): Overall, I've been very impressed with this alarm and tracker; the battery life seems great, the companion app is very simple to use, and at £49.99 it's a pretty good deal. The screws could be longer to suit more bottle cages, and the lack of Android support makes it unviable for many, but in terms of what it does and how it performs there is very little to fault. Pros: Easy to use Loud and sensitive alarm Find My functionality Cons: Screws could be longer No current Android support Verdict: An impressive device, with good battery life, a loud alarm, and accurate tracking.  |
