Grab life by the wheels and Omeo!

8 March 2019 - For Immediate Release

Omeo Technology takes the awarding winning Ogo Evolution 1 to the next level of business development with the launch of the international market ready Omeo (formerly Ogo) from Ōtaki, New Zealand.

The only personal mobility device that fully integrates a unique Active Seat Control system with the best self-balancing technology has now been rigorously tested against of exacting world safety standards and is ready for mass production and international distribution from Ōtaki, New Zealand!

“The Ogo has grown up and launches Omeo for international distribution!” Says Founder Designer and Director Kevin Halsall

With 31 Agents in seven countries and orders rolling out across New Zealand, Australia, Europe, Canada and the USA and enquiries coming in from all over the globe the future looks bright for Omeo and its users.

“These are exciting times! Omeo is changing lives and levelling the playing field in so many ways! The dynamic seat control and self-balancing technology means you intuitively govern the direction, speed and braking of the device through body movements – completely hands-free.

This is the magic mind-body movement at work – you point your eyes and Omeo instinctively follows. Just like walking! What’s actually happening is the Omeo is engaging body and mind together and your core weight is intuitively shifting in the direction you want to go. At the same time providing a complete sense of balance and a great low impact workout for any core muscles you have.” Says Kevin

Its hands free operation and range of all-terrain tyres give users the freedom to play sport, move around the workspace and navigate just about any environment from city sidewalks and trains to farm tracks and the beach. Innovative self-levelling legs provide a stable platform to transfer on and off, and its 38km battery range and powerful headlights allow users to get from A-B at any time of the day or night.

Combining cool and intelligent design users can ‘grab life by the wheels’ in five neat colours and modify their ride to suit their lifestyle. The accessory holder provides for a range of things, smartphone, cup holder, water bottle, fishing rod or camera clips and others.

Early user Sarah LaBrooy who’s currently touring the South Island in a camper van with her new best friend Omeo, was involved in the process of developing the new brand name.

“When I heard about the name change I thought about what the Ogo meant for me. I am at one with it - immediately came to mind. Put ‘O’ as the wheels on either side ‘me’ and you have o-me-o. If my experience is anything to go by I believe Omeo will, in time, invoke an image of freedom, joy and smart technology. I love that Omeo rolls off the tongue and literally has ‘me’ in between its wheels.” Says Sarah.

Omeo Technology head office, with its administration, research and development areas, remains based in the founders’ hometown of Ōtaki in New Zealand. The Omeo is also locally assembled and distributed internationally from an ISO accredited manufacturer in Hutt City, Wellington.

“Our business model has been crafted around the needs of the consumer so that they have an affordable, safe, reliable and fun product. Our mission is to get the Omeo to as many people as possible who can benet from it.

New users are welcomed into the Omeo community and encouraged to share their experiences in person and through our active and ever growing social media community. This feedback keeps us focused on their needs and continues to fuel our passion to drive further innovation.” Says Kevin

Omeo - changing lives through intelligent and cool design.
