Your bike is your prized possession and leaving it unattended, even when secured, can be risky.

KNOG HAS YOU AND YOUR BIKE COVERED WITH THE SCOUT!

The Knog Scout provides unparalleled bike security by combining an extremely loud 85db bike alarm function with a highly accurate bike finder technology, using Apple’s ‘Find My’ app (Android Soon). The Knog Scout is an Apple Certified product.

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.

Reasons to avoid

The Scout Bike Alarm and Finder is a slim 25g rechargeable Bluetooth tracking device utilizing Apple’s “Find My” technology. It can be discreetly mounted under a water cage to help prevent theft and help locate your bike in the event of theft.  

Features

The Knog Scout Bike Alarm can be linked up to Apple’s 'Find My' app and via Bluetooth to the Knog Scout app which will then let you 'Arm' and 'Disarm' the device and trigger an 85db audio alarm as well as send a notification to your phone when it detects motion both of which will grab the attention of anyone around. 

In the case your bike goes missing with the Knog Scout Alarm system, you can hop on Apple’s 'Find My' app, similarly to the AirTag tracker, and see where the Knog trackers latest location is using Apple’s 'Find My Network”'of millions of Apple devices. Read my Apple AirTag breakdown at the beginning if you are unfamiliar with Apple’s Find My Network. It does all of this without any monthly subscriptions plans, all you need is a working compatible Apple device.  

The Knog Scout includes anti-tamper screws to mount securely and an included optional neon yellow silicone cover to deter thieves. The device has a waterproof IP66 rating to keep it functioning during its lifetime. You can get two to six months out of the USB-C rechargeable battery in addition to the small LEDs showing alarm status and battery charge.

What we like

I really like the design of the Knog Scout as it's not super obvious when sitting under a water bottle cage. The app is super easy to use and makes alarming your bike super easy. If you own multiple bikes, you can connect them all to the Knog app and have full control of each one. I’m all for the rechargeable battery that can last up to six months, specially with an updated USB-C charging port. The loud 85 db audio alarm is something to like to help scare away anyone who dares touch your precious bike! It seems like KNOG might have the loudest alarm in this list of trackers and that's a plus in my books. Lastly the device can get firmware updates through the app meaning it will only improve over time. 

What we don't like

There is not much to not like about the Knog Scout, but I would’ve liked to see a second tool to remove the anti-tamper screws as I seem to have misplaced the one it came with. My fault, I know. A quicker charge time would have been nice to see as it can currently take up to four hours to fully charge. I also believe a price could be lower, maybe $49.99. Lastly, this tracker has no real time GPS tracking built in as it is also relying on Apple’s Find My Network to help triangulate its location. 

Verdict

Ever since Apple gave third party companies the ability to have their devices use Apple’s Find My Network, companies like Knog jumped at the opportunity to create a tracking device that also alarms to deter thieves away. If you are looking to step up from let's say an AirTag, the Knog Scout Alarm and Finder can be an excellent choice to add peace of mind when leaving your bike unattended for a bit without worrying about any monthly or yearly subscription plans.
