As good as conventional commuting devices are; they come with their own downsides. Traffic congestion and carbon emission top the list and governments all over the world are searching for means to overcome these challenges. For many, rethinking personal mobility and commuting especially in urban centers is the only sustainable solution. Over the years, there have been numerous personal mobility devices that have threatened to revolutionize personal transportation. However, Omeo manufacturers believe it’s a first of its kind device. According to them, Omeo is ‘the only personal mobility device that fully integrates a unique Active Seat Control system with the very best of self-balancing technology.’
Design and features
Omeo is a powerful two-wheeled self-balancing commuting device that is perfectly optimized to glide smoothly on both smooth and uneven terrains. This is because of the device’s unique self-balancing platform. The platform does an excellent job of keeping drivers level in their seat while ensuring Omeo doesn’t tilt even while navigating troughs or scaling inclines. This self-balancing ability makes Omeo a great choice for a wide range of terrains including beaches, pathways, tracks, and forests; terrains other personal mobility devices may find difficult to navigate.
Compact enough to take you anywhere
Omeo comes as a standard set up that’s capable of fitting through doorways and other small spaces. Rest assured, you’d have no problem searching for a parking space for your device. If you need to better equip Omeo for tougher terrains, you can change to the additional off-road kit that allows you to go virtually anywhere.
Two riding modes
The driver has the option of choosing between two riding modes that are activated by a single lever. If you choose the joystick mode, you’ll control the forward and backward movement by shifting your body weight to the corresponding direction. Sideways movements, on the other hand, are controlled by shifting the joystick to the desired direction.
The second mode is the Active Seat Control (ASC) mode. In this mode, the seat of Omeo is unlocked and you can control the forward, backward and sideways movement by shifting your weight on the seat. This mode offers the possibility of controlling your ride without using your hands. The only downside here is that it might take a while to master the ASC mode.
Other important features
- Dual electric systems that cater for mishaps and also alert you when battery level runs empty
- Ability to turn on its own axis, greatly enhancing maneuverability and movement through tight spaces
- Built-in LED light and reflectors at both the front and rear
- High-density polyethylene body that facilitates easy cleaning, and imparts much-needed durability and impact-resistance
- Customizable seat and footplate heights
- Storage compartment that accommodates a fair amount of load
Pricing info
You’ll need a fair amount of practice before you can safely drive and enjoy the Omeo. The manufacturers advise that prospective buyers should give the device a trial before buying one. Omeo has dedicated agents that organize trials for buyers and explain them the reservation process. You can visit this link to find an agent near you.
Startup
A startup or start-up is a company or project undertaken by an entrepreneur to seek, develop, and validate a scalable business model. While entrepreneurship refers to all new businesses, including self-employment and businesses that never intend to become registered, startups refer to new businesses that intend to grow large beyond the solo founder. At the beginning, startups face high uncertainty and have high rates of failure, but a minority of them do go on to be successful and influential. Some startups become unicorns; that is privately held startup companies valued at over US$1 billion.
Actions
Startups typically begin by a founder (solo-founder) or co-founders who have a way to solve a problem. The founder of a startup will begin market validation by problem interview, solution interview, and building a minimum viable product (MVP), i.e. a prototype, to develop and validate their business models. The startup process can take a long period of time (by some estimates, three years or longer), and hence sustaining effort is required. Over the long term, sustaining effort is especially challenging because of the high failure rates and uncertain outcomes. Having a business plan in place outlines what to do and how to plan and achieve an idea in the future. Typically, these plans outline the first 3 to 5 years of your business strategy.
Design principles
Models behind startups presenting as ventures are usually associated with design science. Design science uses design principles considered to be a coherent set of normative ideas and propositions to design and construct the company's backbone. For example, one of the initial design principles is "affordable loss".
