OMEO EVOLUTION USER MANUAL
The Omeo is a dynamic device that is designed
to perform safely, within limits. An increased risk
of damage to the device, its components and
injury to the rider and others may occur when the
recommended limits are exceeded.
Weight Limit
The maximum weight limit of 110kg (243lbs) for
rider and cargo (payload) is calculated to ensure
reliability, safety, functionality and undue stress on
componentry.
Exceeding the weight limit will void the Omeo
Worldwide Limited Warranty.
WARNING
Exceeding weight limits could compromise
safety, reliability, functionality and durability
especially when operated:
• At higher speed
• Inappropriately to conditions
• By aggressive and abrupt riding
• On irregular surfaces
• On incline / steep slope
• With uneven weight distribution.
Minimum Rider Weight
The rider’s weight should not be less than 40kg
(88lbs).
Cargo Weight
Add the weight of the cargo and the rider to
determine the total weight to make sure you are
operating within the weight limits.
Cargo carried on the front, back or sides of your
Omeo will likely require a change in the position
on the seat to re-establish the central or Neutral
Balance point.
WARNING
Exceeding cargo weights of 4.5kg may interfere
with your Omeo’s balancing ability and could
lead to uncontrolled acceleration or steering,
leading to injury or damage to you and / or
your Omeo.
Operating Limits
Transferring Weight
Eective performance of your Omeo requires
weight transference over the central balance
point. Weight transference generates forward and
back drive and stopping and slowing down by the
same actions in opposite directions. For example,
transferring weight to the right will cause your
Omeo to move to the right and transferring
weight to the rear will cause your Omeo to slow
down and stop then go backwards.
Maximising Range
The range of your Omeo is aected by many
variables, such as o-road use, climbing hills,
operating continuously at high speed.
Maximum range distances are provided in the
Segway PT User Manual (Pg. 16).
Alerts
Your Omeo has a range of alerts that will activate
when some limits are being exceeded. You must
learn to recognise and manage these alerts and
adapt your riding style accordingly. For example,
the Seat will tilt backwards when approaching
maximum speed. For further information about
these alerts, refer to Section 6: Safety Alerts (Pg. 40).
