  • 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.

    Please allow for the use tire chains. There are some situations where no traction mode will help, and the only thing that is going to get you there are chains/cables.

    I know there are tire socks, and they help. But they just are not the same thing.

    As the youngest kid, who had to get out in the knee deep muck to lock the hubs in several original Scouts...I was just thinking today how I'd not only like some modern chains FROM Scout.

    I'm sure it wouldn't be TOO hard to find the best modern type to work with the vehicle. Do a little testing and let people know the best way to use them with an EV. Maybe there is something I'd need to know? Or maybe the vehicle would need to know it had chains on? Not sure, but as another winter storm approaches Texas....and I'm thinkin of driving to our place in Maine...I think of chains. Hope someone else hears this! Thanks for the thread!
