The Karma Mobility Ergo Lite Transit Wheelchair is a super lightweight wheelchair that provides exceptional comfort and support. With a durable frame and a unique S-Ergo seating system, this chair is perfect for those looking for a comfortable and practical transit wheelchair.
The Ergo Lite Transit Wheelchair from Karma Mobility is a top-of-the-line model that boasts a variety of innovative features, making it one of the best transit wheelchairs available on the market today. This lightweight wheelchair is ideal for everyday use and is designed to provide maximum comfort and support to the user.
One of the standout features of this wheelchair is Karma's S-Ergo seating system, which is renowned for its comfort, support, and practicality. This seating system helps users maintain high levels of comfort by preventing them from slipping or slumping in the seat. Additionally, the Aegis microbe shield fabric prevents the growth of microbes on textiles, keeping the chair cleaner and fresher between launderings by inhibiting the growth of odour-causing bacteria.
The half-folding backrest makes folding the wheelchair easy when it comes to storing or transporting the chair. The armrests and footrests are fixed, however the footrest hangers can be adjusted in height to suit most leg lengths. The Ergo Lite Transit Wheelchair also comes with a 2-stage braking system, making it easy for the attendant to slow down and stop the wheelchair in a controlled manner.
At just 8.6 kg in total weight, this ultra-lightweight wheelchair is easy to push and lift into the car boot for transportation. However, despite its lightweight, nothing has been compromised in the design of this model, and it remains very strong. The wheelchair has a double cross brace frame, making it rigid and sturdy enough for users up to 100 kg or 15.5 stone in weight. It has an attractive look with its durable two-tone upholstery, which will keep it looking like new for longer.
The Ergo Lite Transit Wheelchair from Karma Mobility is available in either a 16" or an 18" seat width and a Pearl Silver frame. Built around a strong but lightweight aluminium frame, this wheelchair is designed for users who require the utmost comfort and support while still being able to maintain an active lifestyle. This wheelchair is crash tested, making it suitable for use in an adapted vehicle.
Karma Mobility has a history of building transit wheelchairs, and their extensive knowledge and experience are evident in the design and functionality of the Ergo Lite Transit Wheelchair. The S-Ergo system provides pressure relief and can therefore be used for longer periods comfortably, making it an excellent choice for users who require a wheelchair for extended periods.
