Wheelchair Users: This is why the Omeo All Terrain Power Chair is Revolutionizing Outdoor Independence
It wont be long before Spring is here, along with some warmer weather (hopefully) and more opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. For some wheelchair users this can be an incredibly frustrating time, as many traditional wheelchairs limit access to the outdoors. Even some all terrain wheelchairs struggle on rough or bumpy terrain. Getting outdoors can be hugely beneficial to mental health and gives a sense of freedom and independence that wheelchair users all too often miss out on. A game changing all terrain wheelchair like the Omeo, comfortably takes you places without the worry of getting stuck or having to turn back. The Omeo gives peace of mind and opens up the outdoors and allows the rider to benefit from all it has to offer.

Going Off Road!
Boasting remarkable off-road capabilities, the Omeo all terrain wheelchair is game changer for exploring the outdoors. It enables users to travel over various terrains, such as grass, gravel, woodland paths, and sandy beaches. It opens up opportunities to explore areas that were previously inaccessible. The Omeo allows the rider to visit places and feel like they are as accessible to them as they are to everyone else.

While conventional power chairs can struggle with uneven surfaces, the Omeo is built to handle challenging environments.
With its self-balancing, two-wheel design and high-quality construction, it offers superb and safe traction on different surfaces, improving the riding experience. This allows you to participate in outdoor activities with family and friends without the concern of getting stuck. There's nothing more frustrating than feeling like you're slowing everyone down, but on the Omeo, they'll be the ones trying to keep up with you!
Hands-Free
Revolutionary and patented hands-free seat steering technology is a standout feature of the Omeo. Users can steer the chair using their body movements instead of the joystick. This function, unique to the Omeo, allows users to move effortlessly while keeping their hands free to engage with their surroundings.
The freedom provided by this feature, means users can carry items, pick up objects, or simply gesture and communicate with friends without feeling hindered by a joystick. It means a day can be spent outdoors with family or friends, sharing laughs and capturing memories without being tied to the controls.
Speed and Range
The Omeo has an impressive range of up to 50km on one charge, which means that you can be out on it all day without the fear of running out of battery power.
It also has a max speed of 20km/hour, so its fun and exhilarating to use where the speed limits and regulations allow. It can also be limited to 4mph where required, so its not all about speed and flying about, it can be used at a slow and steady pace with safety as a priority.
Compact Design
The Omeo is no wider than a standard manual wheelchair. It's compact and neat design means it fits through standard doorways easily. It can also be transported in the boot of most cars with the use of ramps or a hoist. Or if you are using public transport, it fits neatly into wheelchair spaces.

If friends decide to take a road trip, chuck the Omeo in the boot (carefully with ramps!) and join in on the fun without a second thought. All you have to worry about is whether anyone has brought a picnic, or if there is a café on route!
