Fun, with many opportunities for improvement.

- Wolter, 5 May, 2025

Works great for finding your bike location. Couple of months in use on first battery charge and is still 75% full. The alarm is fun rather than useful. Comes out sound that attracts attention from bystanders, so it has its purpose. Just not too loud. The Scout is so sensitive that even 1 gust of wind triggers it. Even if you customise the sensitivity, so that makes it useless again. Would be nice if an update would customise the sensitivity. Installing alarm and in Find My went well for me in one go! I normally never have that.

Pros & Cons

long battery life
work via find my
not very loud.
too sensitive

Disappointing product with very poor software

- Willem, 19 March, 2025

Disappointing product. The app only works on iOS and even then the app is very buggy and unstable. The app often forgets my Scout for no reason, pairing with Apple "Find My" was very cumbersome (had to do a factory reset several times). The alarm also goes off way too fast, causing me to silence it. As soon as someone taps my bike in e.g. a bicycle shed, the alarm already goes off on its least sensitive setting. So you get a lot of "false positive" signals from "thieves" who ultimately turn out to be nothing.

Pros & Cons

easy to apply on bicycle
Alarm is far too sensitive
App is very unstable

For the price, I think it's good.

- Karam, 18 March, 2025

My experience with it was good, especially since it is integrated into the Apple Find My service, but its application is not that great.

Pros & Cons

Gives the bike a nice look
very easy to instal
Her voice is low and does not frighten the thief

Works as expected mainly as a deterrent and support good locks.

- Henk, 7 March, 2025

Received quickly and easy installation. Install under water bottle possible but bolts (with special key to (dis)assemble) may be too short in combination with other accessories (e.g. lock holder that also use water bottle location). Functions for sensitivity touch and set alarm tone useful. It is mainly a deterrent. Alarm on bike well audible, not very loud. To transmit alarm signal, your mobile does need to be within bluetooth range, which often means you can see your bike. Works as expected and glad I invested in this.

Pros & Cons

Affordable
Easy to use
Well adjustable
Bluetooth range limits
Depends on AirTag network

That's ok.

- Jan-Ulrich, 30 January, 2025

Could be louder. The app hangs a little more often than I would like. I'm not very confident that the theft protection has been increased. If the thief comes, I hope he gets a brief fright and skips away.

Good product,

- Stefan, 23 September, 2024

A very good addition to the lock and ideal for short stops at the petrol station or bakery. Secure and stable attachment compared to the AirTag

Simple device that provides additional protection for the wheel

- Stefan, 27 November, 2023

I used it at the lowest sensitivity. You have to move the wheel or device significantly.
