Omeo

World's Only Hands Free Self-Balancing All-Terrain Wheelchair

The Omeo's powerful two-wheeled self-balancing platform allows you to interact with the world in a new way. With balance-based movements, you get to express your individuality in a way no other mobility device allows.



Four Reasons the Omeo is for you…

Omeo

The Omeo allows you to travel over uneven terrain (sand, gravel, mud etc), scale inclines and navigate troughs and bumps in the ground, making beaches, woodland and unmade pathways accessible.

Omeo

The Omeo is designed and built with the best safety and the most unique features of any self-balancing personal transportation device.

Omeo

When you use the Omeo on a daily basis, you won't strain your body. Instead, you'll shift your body weight in a simple, minimal way and protect it from long-term muscular damage.

Omeo

In addition to being incredibly functional, the Omeo offers a stylish design in a variety of colours, that'll allow you to go about your life in complete confidence.


More on the GREAT features…

Omeo

The Omeo is the only self-balancing chair that can be operated using your body alone

At all times the forward and backwards movement is controlled via tilting the seat by shifting your body weight forward and back. However, you have the option to control left and right movements via either a joystick located on the arm or via tilting the seat left and right by shifting your body weight.

This incredible feature allows you to ride the Omeo totally hands free, giving you greater independence.


Omeo

By changing the standard tyres to a set of off-road tyres you can increase the all-terrain ability of the Omeo even further!

The tyres come with a set of wide flared mud guards that protect the rider from splashes from the tyres and ground.

As well as opening the rider up to a greater range of terrains, the wider, lower pressure tyres provide a great feeling of suspension. They give great traction on soft sand, thick gravel and snow to name a few. Not only this, the turf style thread on the tyres mean they are gentle on delicate surfaces such as lawns, golf courses and other fragile flora.

The off-road kit increases the width of the Omeo to 850cm/33inches.


Omeo

Perfect for tight spaces

The Omeo will turn 360 degrees on the spot making narrow spaces easy to navigate. Its length is 610mm which means that it is possible to manoeuvre easily in shop aisles or small elevators without having to shuffle backward and forwards.

Coupled with its compact size at 650 mm (no wider than a standard manual wheelchair), it will fit through most standard shop or house doorways, making the Omeo an impressively versatile indoor/outdoor powered chair.

Omeo

The Omeo has an incredible 50km range on one charge

The Omeo's gyro and motor runs on 2 x 11.4ah lithium batteries giving a really impressive range of 50km/31 miles on one charge.

We are yet to have a customer run out of power when setting out for the day on a full charge. This long range reliability takes the worry out of losing power half way through an activity or having to carry spare batteries.

Omeo

One of the key attractions is that the Omeo will travel up to 20kph/12mph.

Where areas have restrictions, it is possible to limit the speed on your Omeo to 4, 6 or 8mph on your info key.

7 Standard Colours

BESPOKE COLOUR

You can also opt to have your Omeo professionally sprayed in ANY bespoke colour of your choice

Active Seat Control (ASC)

The most defining feature of the Omeo is its patented Active Seat Control system

The Active Seat Control (ASC) system is a unique control interface from person to machine in which you control the direction, speed and braking through body movements.

The combination of the seat pan, seat positions, backrest and cushions makes for the ultimate support, comfort and control. Feedback from leading seating specialists say “they wouldn't change a thing”.

  • The curved seat pan captures the legs - providing support for control
  • Adjustable positioning and height at 4 screw point in the Seat Pan.
  • Great results from pressure mapping tests.
  • The overall design is supportive and comfortable for a wide range of body types.
  • Core features of sitting a wide range of people upright.
  • Self-levelling in the act of breaking, going down hills and through dips - so you never feel as if you are going to fall out the front.

Omeo

Although the Omeo has some of the best safety and back-up features of any self-balancing device, we will always spend time with you when delivering your Omeo to give you ample safety training and to ensure you feel confident on your Omeo before venturing out.

We do recommend that you wear a safety helmet as well as any other protection you think you will need when riding.

You should always use the Omeo responsibly and within your limits. Always be mindful of the safety of others eg travel at a pedestrian pace in busy confined areas.

The Omeo has dual system back-ups and provides alerts (e.g. battery levels), as well as in built-in safety features that won't leave you stranded. This is all outlined in the user materials provided with your Omeo.

Adapt Ability Ltd cannot accept responsibility for your safety if the Omeo is used irresponsibly or for anything other than its purpose.

Omeo

The Omeo can only be powered on with the info key. So as long as you have the info key with you, no one can get on your Omeo and drive away with it. The info key also has a security lock function that, when activated, will trigger an alarm if anyone tries to move your Omeo.

The fact that the info key is your 'ignition' and can be separated from the Omeo is particularly useful for flying with your Omeo, as many airlines consider this a safety feature.
