We understand that your bike is a prized possession and leaving it unattended, even when secured, can be risky. Scout provides unparalleled Bike security by combining both an extremely loud 85db bike alarm function with a highly accurate bike finder, using Apple's "Find My" app. The future of bike security is here.

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.

Afterwards, Ed, from Rab, will be available to answer any questions you may have about the Rab Cinder cycling kit. Any Rab Cinder kit purchased on the night will benefit from an exclusive 10% discount.
