Karma Ergo Lite 2 Self Propelled Wheelchair

The Ergo Lite 2 Self Propelled Wheelchair from Karma Healthcare is one of the lightest aluminium manual wheelchairs on the market. With a carry weight of just 5.8kg to 6kg and a total weight of 10.2 KGs this lightweight model is ideal for both user and carer thanks to its strong aluminium frame, making it easier to lift and reducing the chance of back injury.

For user comfort, the S-Ergo seating system promotes positive posture and helps to promote pressure relief by preventing the occupant from sliding forward in the seat. This model is designed for users weighing up to 100KG or 15.5 stone.

An ultra lightweight wheelchair with attendant brakes

Other features on the Ergo Lite 2 include detachable swing away foot rests designed to make transfers on and off the wheelchair easier. The rear wheels are quick release. With both the foot rests and the rear wheels removed the wheelchair weighs just 6 KG, making it very easy to handle.

The handrim on the rear wheels is designed to be kind to the hands and wrists and make self-propulsion easy. Its ergonomic design also makes braking and stopping easier.

The upholstery is made with AEGIS Microbe Shield fabric which inhibits bacterial and fungal growth helping to keep the wheelchair fresh and clean. To the rear of the wheelchair there are attendant brakes that can be used to slow and stop the wheelchair. Stepper tubes are also in place which help the carer or attendant to raise the front wheels to mount a curb or single step with ease.
