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.

If you want peace-of-mind that you've done everything you can to secure your bike, Scout is an essential piece of kit.
The Knog Scout Bike Finder is a handy little device that helps you locate your bike when you've forgotten where you parked it. As someone who frequently forgets where they left their bike, I was excited to try it out.
First off, I was impressed by the size of the device. It's small enough to fit on your keychain or in your pocket, yet powerful enough to locate your bike from a distance of up to 200 feet.
The device uses Bluetooth technology to connect to your smartphone, and the free Knog app guides you to your bike using a map. Setting up the device was fairly easy. I simply downloaded the app, turned on Bluetooth on my phone, and followed the instructions to pair the device. Once paired, I attached the device to my bike using the included silicone strap. The device itself is well-designed and feels sturdy.
It's water-resistant, so I didn't have to worry about getting caught in the rain.
The battery life is also impressive, with the device lasting up to 18 months on a single replaceable battery. In terms of performance, the Knog Scout Bike Finder did exactly what it promised.
I tested it out in a crowded parking lot and was able to locate my bike within a few seconds using the app's map feature. The app also has a "proximity alert" feature that notifies you when you're getting close to your bike, which I found helpful.
Overall, I would highly recommend the Knog Scout Bike Finder to anyone who frequently forgets where they parked their bike. It's easy to use, well-designed, and performs exactly as advertised.
