SECTION 7 LEARNING TO RIDE YOUR OMEO EVOLUTION

|
OMEO EVOLUTION USER MANUAL
Your Omeo is a two-wheeled self-balancing
device with a dynamic steering system designed
to keep you in an upright seated position when
powered on. It will not tip over when operated
properly.
Proper use includes being aware of and avoiding
hazards:
• Traction – Your Omeo’s Tyres must have
traction at all times to avoid slipping. Traction
and control can be lost where your weight
or payload reaches a point where the motors
can no longer keep the device upright, for
example down or across very steep slopes.
See also factors that influence traction (Pg. 46)
• Tripping – Your Omeo can trip if it hits a low
obstacle with force, coming to a sudden stop.
This action could catapult your Omeo and you
forward or backward.
• Tipping – Your Omeo may tip if the sideways
weight transfer is too excessive.
• Skidding – Your Omeo may skid with
Stabilising Legs down if you lean forward
too much.
