OMEO EVOLUTION USER MANUAL
Learning to Ride your Omeo
Your Omeo can be ridden by users with a wide
range of physical capabilities. The performance
level of the device will vary according to your
physical capability.
The learning sequence contained in this Manual
has been developed from years of practice
among numerous riders of varying levels of ability.
It covers your initial ride through to a level of
competence. It is important to always ride within
your capabilities and develop your riding skills in a
progressive manner.
NOTICE
SPOTTER TO BE IN ATTENDANCE.
When you are learning to ride your Omeo,
you must have an able-bodied assistant, or
“Spotter” who is alert, physically able to keep
up with and react quickly enough to stop the
Omeo by pulling back on the Seat at any time.
They must be able to keep up with your Omeo
set to Turtle Mode -10 kph / 6 mph. (Refer to
Turtle Mode Pg. 52).
Your Spotter should only touch the moving
Omeo/Seat when required, as it is important for
you to learn uninterrupted and at your own pace.
Your Spotter must understand how your Omeo
works and be able to activate the Stabilising
Legs in both Joystick Mode and ASC Mode; and
manage a Safety Shutdown competently.
It would be an advantage for the spotter to be a
competent user.
WARNING
Before learning to ride, your Omeo must be
set up and fitted for your height. Your Omeo
should arrive at the correct height setting if
you advised Omeo when ordering. Otherwise
adjustments should be done under the
guidance of your Authorised Omeo Agent or by
reference to customisations in this Manual.
(See Section 11: Customisations, Pg. 87).
NOTICE
The environment you select for learning should
be free of distractions for both you and your
Spotter so that you can both focus on learning.
