New Knog Scout offers 85 decibel alarm and Apple AirTag tracking. Get all the details here cycling
Knog has introduced a new Scout device that attaches to your bike to provide an 85-decibel alarm to discourage theft and Apple AirTag tracking to help you locate it if it’s taken.
Scout, which has apparently been in development for three years, can be attached to your bike frame via the water bottle cage mounts using tamper-proof security screws. In this way, it’s similar to the AlterLock Anti-Theft Alarm & GPS Tracking Device that we reviewed on road.cc last year.A switched-on tea-leaf could probably remove the device without too much trouble, but they'd need to notice it and know what it is first. It comes in subtle black or more vivid yellow.
Knog says, “A sophisticated alarm and finder system that works in tandem with a secure Bluetooth signal, Scout communicates with any Apple device using the ‘Find My Network’ feature.” It says that Scout weighs about the same as an AA battery – which is 24g, according to the road.cc scales – and has a life of up to 6 months between charges. It has an IP67 rating which means it can withstand rain even a bike wash.“The device has multi-functional LEDs that allow the user to clearly see if their Scout is armed, paired, and view the status of the battery. Once armed, any movement of the bike triggers an impossible-to-ignore alarm and then sends a text alert to the user.
85 decibels is about as loud as city traffic or something like a food blender so, depending on where your bike is locked, it’s likely to draw the attention of passers-by.
