  • 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.

    Not sure about the all electric I prefer gasoline

    People like what they like. If they want to venture out and try something different then they should have that option. Technology has been advancing at a greater pace and some are more hesitant to jump in on the total ev bandwagon. They are not wrong for that. Scout is an icon of our country’s...

    Silly ideas sometimes inspire good ones, let's hear yours

    Totally agree. I would also like to set the Scout become a top selling vehicle and like your dad, I would be open to a ev scout (not as a daily driver) but only because it’s a Scout and I am partial to its history and would like to see it succeed. My round trip commute is 92 miles a day so an...

    Silly ideas sometimes inspire good ones, let's hear yours

    “This is the moment to bring out your questionable or ridiculous ideas to see if there are any nuggets of brilliance hidden away.” Well, here we go….. here is a crazy idea, how about a good ole plain and simple style Scout at least as a hybrid. I know, I know, I’m dreaming. I love my old...

    1964 Scout 80

    152cid, 4x4, hardtop, factory pro winch. Upgraded Petronix ignition, carb, led lighting and painted with Durabak coating. It is just a run around fun vehicle to share with my family. Self restored, it’s not for show, it’s for GO!

    Welcome and Introductions!

    Can’t wait for the next generation Scout. Currently have a 1964 Scout 80 that is my pride and joy. I’m not 100% sold on a pure ev but excited about it anyway.
