Scout is a bicycle alarm and finder, designed to seamlessly integrate into Apple’s FindMy network of products, allowing you to keep track of your beloved bikes whereabouts, even when you’re not riding. The lightweight, and low-profile SCOUT discretely and securely mounts to any water bottle cage using the security screws provided. Once armed (via the app or on the unit itself) any movement of a bike fitted with Scout will trigger the motion sensitive 85 db alarm alerting the owner. If a Scout fitted bike is not where the owner last left it, then they can simply locate its position using Apple’s FindMy network. The SCOUT is USB-C rechargeable and has a runtime of approximately 6 months with standard use. Riders can activate/deactivate the motion sensitive alarm, locate the device, and check the battery life, all through the Knog App. Scout is the future of bike security.

Power Planner sizes generators and builds complete power plans for events, construction sites, off-grid camps, and field operations. Every other tool gives you a flat wattage guess. Power Planner gives you a real bill of materials: the generator size, the fuel, the leads, the distribution boxes - and what happens when something fails. TWO MODES POWER PLANNER — Have a generator? Add your appliances and instantly see load percentage, surge headroom, and fuel burn. Perfect for camping, caravans, tradies, and home blackout backup. POWER PLANNER PRO — Need power for an event or site? Add your equipment and get told what to hire or bring: • Three-tier load model: connected load, realistic demand load (duty cycles), and design load with a 25% safety buffer • Generator recommendations from standard commercial sizes (8–1000 kVA), including dual-unit redundancy options • Multi-generator planning: assign equipment to zones, balance three-phase loads, and see per-unit utilisation • Fuel logistics: burn rates, daily and total litres, jerry cans, drums, and resupply runs • Distribution kit: lead counts by plug type (10A / 15A / 32A / hardwired), distro boxes, and cable estimates • Load priority tagging (Critical / Essential / Deferrable) with an automatic load-shedding plan if a generator fails • Recommended startup sequence to manage motor surge • Generator service schedule tracking with hour meters • Cost estimation and quote builder for hire companies • CSV equipment import, PDF plan export, shareable plans Scenario presets get you started fast: events and festivals, construction sites, accommodation and camps, and more. A Field Ops template pack for defence and government logistics users is available via access code (see the About screen). BUILT FOR THE FIELD Power Planner works 100% offline. No account, no sign-in, no cloud, no data collection — your plans stay on your device. Use it in a paddock, a basement, or anywhere else the job takes you. IMPORTANT Power Planner produces planning estimates only. All power configurations must be verified by a qualified licensed electrician before implementation.
