Off-topic stuff…

  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.
So Max raced on the Nurburgring today and he and his teammate won. So Max won driving a Ferrari this year before Charles or Lewis. 🙃

Just the end for me. I took the bike out the other day to clean it and was surprised that I had zero desire to gear up and go for a ride.
Fully respect that I’ve had a lot of friends stop. I live outside NYC on Long Island and with the sheer population of drivers that can’t wait to text riding has become very defensive. I love early morning rides. Leave between 5-6am on weekends. Quieter streets.

I leave around 6:30am for my commute and got rear ended at a red light last February.

Have been a weenie since. Maybe ridden 5-6 times since I got the bike back from the repair shop.

A cat who willingly rides in a car? Wow!
If he fits he sits. lol

Even more surprising that he willingly hangs out with me at all.

But hes loves being my shadow and even follows me when I go on walks around the neighborhood. He also goes for rides with me from time to time.


Gerald doesn't know hes a cat.
 
Decided that the rainy day meant no outside work this morning. Instead we took the Lightning up the mountain (1800 feet elevation gain and then loss) for lunch and to maybe see some pretty sights. The sights were pretty, as expected. But I forgot to grab any photos. When we got home, we were greeted by these two Bulls fighting over the rest of the herd. This is the smaller herd.

On-topic:
We did a 53 mile round trip and I left the truck on while we ate so I could record the full round trip (to account for elevation gain/loss, it’s best to record the full trip there and back). At 2.8 miles/kWh, with 131 kWh useable battery capacity, that’s a 367 mile range for a full charge. Kind of low for this type of driving, which included some 20 mph, 55 mph, 45 mph, 65 mph, and forest service roads at 15-30 mph. It was mostly low because we climbed 1800 feet in elevation.

Great wildlife photos. You must have thousands.

Putting my bike up for sale! I am not selling it here, this is not an advertisement. Big bagger Kawasaki Vulcan Voyager 1700. I haven’t seriously ridden in more than two years. After we got the Mustang Mach-E, the thrill of silent acceleration just makes all the bikes I’ve ever ridden feel slow and noisy.

I used to ride before children. I would love to ride an EV bike. I think that would be thrilling without the noise.
