Spiegel tests nine products for mounting Apple AirTags on bicycles, including saddle, bottle cage, handlebar, bell, tire, and fork mounts, plus the Knog Scout as an alternative. AirTags help track bikes via Apple’s “Find My” network, but have limitations: they require nearby Apple devices, are detectable by thieves due to anti-stalking features, and can be removed if found. Each holder has pros and cons regarding concealment, water resistance, compatibility, and ease of installation. Some mounts are highly discreet (e.g., AirBell, Egmatec fork holder), while others are more visible. The Knog Scout offers integrated alarm and tracking but only works with Apple devices. The review concludes that AirTags and compatible holders can aid recovery but are not foolproof, and their effectiveness depends on location, concealment, and thief awareness[3][4].
