Learning Sequence
1. Select your environment
NOTICE
When you are learning to ride the Omeo, it is
very important that you are in an appropriate
environment where you are least likely to harm
yourself, others or property in the event of loss
of control.
Start on firm, smooth and level ground, for
example short dry grass, compacted earth,
concrete, asphalt and non-slippery flooring.
Make sure that you have adequate clear space to
practise. Clear space also means no obstructions
at head or waist height, (such as low branches
and signs), and free from vehicles, bicycles, pets
and small children. It is recommended that you
have an area of at least 100 sqm (1000 sqft)
initially, expanding the area as confidence and
skill level develops.
Figure 23:
When learning to ride, it is strongly recommended that you have an
able-bodied assistant (Spotter).
