OMEO EVOLUTION USER MANUAL
Section 7: Learning to ride your Omeo
This section gives you guidelines to help you learn
to ride your Omeo.
Learning to ride your Omeo is different to
learning to use any new device, for example a
bicycle, car or other new technology. Simply, the
more time and effort you put into learning about
and riding your Omeo the more confident and
skilled you will become.
At first your Omeo will be unfamiliar and you
may lack confidence - this is not unusual.
Your confidence and ability will grow with
practise. For many it takes only 5 minutes to feel
in control. For others, it can take 30-90 minutes.
It is important that you develop your riding skills in
a progressive manner as outlined by the learning
exercises in this manual.
It is essential that all learning and practise is
undertaken in a controlled, familiar environment
free of obstacles, until you are comfortable
and confident in the use of your Omeo and its
InfoKey™ Controller.
Before using, it is important to make sure that your
Omeo is assembled and charged correctly.

WARNING
Your Omeo is a dynamic device with forward,
back and steering motion controlled by your
body movement. There is risk of personal
injury, or damage to the device and / or
environment if you are not in control.
WARNING
Beware of the behaviour of pets, small children
and machinery around your Omeo.
WARNING
It is recommended that you wear an approved
bicycle or skateboard helmet while operating
your Omeo. Ensure you are not wearing loose
clothing or carrying anything else (e.g. bags)
that could get caught in moving parts such
as wheels.
NOTICE
All Omeo Technology media presented without
the use of a helmet is conducted under
controlled conditions by Omeo professionals
and is not to be considered as standard practise.
NOTICE
Operate within the laws of the jurisdiction you
are riding. For example, some jurisdictions
restrict use on footpaths (sidewalks), or have
speed limits.
Inspect your Omeo before each use (see
). Do not ride if any part is loose,
damaged, or if the tyres are not properly inflated.
Refer to Segway PT User Manual (Pg. 98).
