  • 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.

    it feels like that scooter should be a part of the side by side and pop out like the cassette from Soundwave in Transformers

    Brake pedal behavior: Preference?

    So for the one pedal drivers - how do you stretch your leg/foot while you drive? I have to adjust/pop my ankle every once in a while and that seems like it won’t work well with the one pedal drive. I really liked it otherwise in the test drives I’ve done so far but that has me a little worried.

    The kids are mostly out of the house and I very seldom have more than a couple of people in the car now but I definitely appreciate the ability to buy 8 foot 2x8's to build shelves with or to impulse buy a dresser when I want to. I'm looking at both big and medium SUVs though

    yeah but I think with 305k miles on it, that would have already been a long shot - that price can't get much lower

    Talked to State Farm - officially totaled. Trying to decide whether to do a reclaimed title and fix it anyway or get something new. I did find a 2014 Flex with only 73k miles on it that looks just like mine. Very tempting. I wouldn't have to learn to look for a new car!

    I also like this one Suzuki Lapin Startup

    thanks - I will definitely check that. I'm looking at several different kinds and also looking at getting my car fixed with a totaled title if I have to. Lots of options to go through. I just wish State Farm Insurance had people you could talk to on the weekends. Only AI and bots until Monday...

    Unfortunately these are the SE version with the smaller range. It should cover back and forth to work ok but longer drives will definitely be harder

    Does anyone have an opinion on the Hyundai Kona Electric? I've found pretty good deals on a couple of used ones (2024) with about 14k miles on them. I know they are pretty small comparatively- I'm going to rent a gas one to get back home (no electrics available) and see how I feel about that and...

    My sister got me a copy of Four Wheeler magazine from July 1969. Has a Scout ad and an article about the Aristocrats - when I can make good scans I’ll put the whole article up

    My son is 30 and wants to live in a big city and never have to have a car - he doesn’t want the responsibility or the stress of driving. My daughter is 21 and got her license the second she could 🤣

    Off-topic stuff…

    Yeah. He had almost convinced himself to try for his license because almost every job lists having one as a requirement but now I’m not sure what he’ll do. Sucks all around

    Off-topic stuff…

    I have a spreadsheet set up to calculate the cost of the overage and see how it compares. But I do usually go about 20k miles a year which doesn’t fit the leases well.

    Off-topic stuff…

    Thanks! Lots of good info there once I can sit and think again. I’m supposed to be on vacation with my parents and my sister and her family so it’s just a great time for it all. Fortunately she hit us so far back and her car was so much smaller, we didn’t even get spun around completely. Just...

    Yeah that would be best I think. Hopefully would be either something not horribly expensive or something we can resell so it won’t wipe out the savings we have for the Scout.

    ok - the flex may have bit the dust tonight. Got hit by a black car with no headlights when I was pulling out of a parking lot - barely caught me on the back driver side. The back wheel is bent out a good bit so I'm afraid the axle is bent and a 2010 with 305k miles is easy to total. So...

    If you could ask Scott Keogh one question….

    I have very loose joints so I'm mostly making sure hips and knees are back where they should be before putting weight on them. Sometimes they dislocate overnight and that's fun...

    Pets of Scout Motors

    I'm so sorry - it's always so hard to lose them but our lives are better for having known and loved and been loved by them.
