I have one and it’s absolutely amazing! I tested it when I did an Ironman Overseas. My partner was able to track me around the whole bike route while racing!

Thanks for the comprehensive review! It's an interesting alternative to the Air Tag, for sure.

Looks a fantastic improvement to bike security, especially when paired with a lock. Can see this type of device becoming common place.

Good to see the sun out in Ballarat. Have a great Christmas 👍✌️😎

That looks like a nice christmas present 🎄🎁 thank you Shane!!!

very cool. i bought air tag my self which i kinda regret a lil as this is such a better upgrade with all the extra stuff. still air tags will do their thing for sure too, better than nothing.

Awesome theft deterrent at cafe stops. It looks much stealthier below the bottle cage than comparable Airtag holders

Thanks for the detailed review, Shane. There’s plenty to like about this product, but I’ve had a long history of problems with Knog lights….and I’m certainly not unique on that score. Your comments at the end about early firmware that was sketchy with arming/disarming doesn’t fill me with hope. I’ll sit on the fence for now and see how this plays out for a bit longer.

I love these baseball field tests. 👏

Very useful for bikepacking when your asleep in your tent. It will wake you if someone moves it

I use a plastic stem cap mount for mounting my apple AirTag. Looks like a top cap and it’s up high on the bike.

I hope the Mk.2 revision comes with a spoken voice alarm like "Warning Stolen Bike" to notify bystanders. Since the alarm isn't going to stop a bike thief from riding away with the bike with the alarm on.

As an extra test, would be good to see how the ‘cafe alarm’ compares with the Cycliq Fly ones (but not the 12 Sport which doesn’t have the alarm feature).

I enjoyed how the ad that was served with this was from Peleton. I guess after past escapades it’s good to see that they’re now indirectly supporting your monetisation.

I’m primarily interested in the deterrent potential. Setting off an alarm might be enough to deter a thief because it is obvious that the bike is protected beyond Airtags. And, if locked as well, it will buy me enough time to get outside the cafe or convenience store and stop them. Hopefully I would never need to use the tracking…

Saw the fly go by. 😂

2:00 Spotted! #FlyGate

damn, your bikes got some nice fat tires very nice !

You should have brought Max to the park and have him touch the bike to set off the alarm. ;-)

Was disappointed by its range. Unless your 30-50ft in point of sight… it will disconnect. Peace of mind gone. I’m wondering if I should use an Apple Watch and leave my phone in my backpack with security of the stores i frequent. I wonder if that will notify me if set off? Thanks for your time.

Nice. but I am looking for one that works any any android phone. please any advice on any device for android?

The alarm is overall a better (from first glance) alarm (much more refined than even the Boomerang Cyclotrac V2) but the downside is that the alarm is not loud. 85 dB is annoying but if you want serious deterrent against at least a would-be/opportunistic thief, an alarm with a siren level of 110-115 dBA at 10 feet distance in open an outdoors environment is much rather called for. Yes there is the liability of hearing damage, but this type of counter-offense should be there by design as a wimpy 85 dBA alarm is going to have a less of a chance of deterring theft or vandalism. I know there's probably a lot of arguments with even just the principal of using anti-theft technology (namely analog purist that much strongly prefer solid locks, cheap throw-away bikes, and insurance), but no argument of theirs will convince technology adopters from test-driving this sort of technology out. And of course, this device is not meant by any means to replace any sort conventional bike security measures, it's just another added layer of security and you obviously can't go wrong with more security layers. Point is, this device seems more polished than any other equivalent piece of equipment I've seen or tried, but it needs to be even louder (at least have a dedicated alarm piezo/horn and a quieter local feedback piezo so as to not blast your ears off when just controlling the device). This isn't the only thing I'd ever wish for in a smart bike security transponder-alerter system, I can name a laundry list of specifications that would beat out any bike-oriented alarm systems out of the water.

Hi Shane. I’m thinking about picking one of these up but can I just ask if you had any issues fitting it under your bottle cage? I’m guessing you have Elite cages like me but I read a review that said they struggled to get it to fit on their bike as the supplied security screws weren’t quite long enough? Also are you still using it? Any other problems since the review video? Thanks for your time & keep up the great content.

Hi, GREAT review - Can you answer for me; If it relies on Bluetooth, the range is limited so Ian't there a risk that theft wont be transmitted to your iPhone?

Hi Shane what handlebar bag are you using on this bike? Do you like it?

Need an android compatible version

GREAT THANKS

People need understand that not is ‘thief proof’,but just one more thing to make thieves life harder!

wait so i thought the airtag anti stalker feature would notify people within an hour no matter what... (i read somewhere even 15mins possibly)? is the only advantage of the scout the alarm? i assumed if they wernt as precise then the antistalker feature would be relaxed to some degree and i could be less worried about a thief being alerted...

I hope they release a version able to fit into the frame or tires

Your "rain cover" thing doesn't look as yellow as mine does? Yours is kind of a peach colour? I'm afraid here in the UK we still have firmware 1.1.2. App is a bit annoying if you have multiple bikes/devices scattered around your house/lair: As the far device's connection gets iffy, the app becomes unresponsive and comes back and might need an "up swipe" (or kill -9, depending)

I found app constantly disconnected. Even from a few meters away - line of sight but behind glass. Otherwise like the product, but not confident to place bike out of sight!

Bro did you have to try the SEE SENSE ICON3?

So , if my bike is already stollen , i have chance to see signal on another part of the city ? Or its working not like airtag?

So a thief only has to get the screw tool to be able to remove this device dispose if it and carry on home? Or are the screws and tools individualised per device?… asking for a friend.. ahem.

If let in silent mode, does this notify the person who take your bike that a "airtag" is following them?

Weird that it needs an app to do its main function…

I'd like to see a false positive test. If it's cable locked to a crowded bike rack and someone is jostling it around to lock their bike, is that going to set it off?

If a thief had your bike in his or her garage it would be hard to get it back even with a tracker. because the police can't search private property without a warent. But you could aggressively go on someone's property and take it back yourself.

I thought the Edge 1030 or newer also had an alarm like that? No?

If someone saw this was on the bike, could they not just disarm it by pressing the button before moving/walking away with the bike?

Would have been good to cover the mounting screws and tool too…

I just wish it was a way to put it in my bike I don’t have the water bottle mount this calls for that area houses a battery for my ebike

I've had the Scout for a couple of months now. While the product itself is great the app consistently stops working properly. If I haven't used the alarm for a few days the arm/disarm button on app just disappears, even when its bluetooth connected, and the only way to get it back is to activate the alarm from the Scout (and, yes, I have the latest firmware version - 1.1.3). Its a PITA and unfortunately Knog have not been at all helpful with resolving this issue. Just sayin'.

Can someone help me: is it possible to connect two smartphone to the device? My wife and I share the same cargo bike and want both phone to be connected.

Does it cost every month tracking fee

How many watts does it save me?

Does it notify a thief that an AirTag is following them?

I am locked out of the App … no customer service … i tried resetting password via email but the App still responded with incorrect credentials … the alarm will not turn off .. very frustrating ,,, removed from bike .. and looking for alternative … the bottom line … you pay for what you get … cheap solution!

Is there anything similar for Android

Interesting. I am absolutly not interested in making noise, when someone just shakes the bike stand. Noone really cares here, when car or shop alarm launches on the street. Quite the opposite - ppl feel upset. I would prefer a gps tracking of in-bike hidden unit. Sadly, this one is not that, and does not support Android, which is a real pity. So, so far - a physical lock when travelling around 🙂

Make it for android and you got me

Bzzz @1:59

anyone here who got their bike stolen but found it with gps? how did it go?

Too bad not useful for Android.

So this only really works if the bike is stolen while you are in Bluetooth range; otherwise if you are out of Bluetooth range such as a building... when its stolen the thief will get an alert

Not Android compatible is the biggest fail for me

Product that works but unnecessary. Because this product is based on the premise that the bike would be stolen when the cyclist gets off his bike, an event that hasn’t happened in years.
