he Karma Ergo Lite wheelchair weighs just 8.3kg (18lbs) complete Nothing Removed!
A standard ‘lightweight’ aluminium wheelchair weighs about 13-14kgs (28 – 31lbs) complete,
which is roughly half the weight of a standard NHS wheelchair.
The Karma Ergo Lite weighs only 8.3kgs (18lbs) which is almost half the weight of a ‘lightweight’ aluminium chair.
Overall this Karma Ergo Lite wheelchair is less than a third of the weight of a standard NHS wheelchair, now if that isn’t lightweight I don’t know what is !
It has also been successfully crash tested, which means it is ‘legally’ allowed to be used as a seat (when correctly strapped down) using the mounting points on the chair, in a special adapted taxi, coach etc.
Karma believe that this is the lightest crash tested wheelchair available on the market and a great addition to thier range of lightweight wheelchairs.
It has the same Aegis microbe shield and shaped seat as the rest of the Ergo range.
The S-Ergo seat promotes pressure redistributions and helps prevent the user sliding down the seat.
The Ergo Lite still has the build quality you would expect from a Karma wheelchair in spite of its incredible weight.
