Karma Ergo 125 Lightweight Transit Wheelchair

The Karma Ergo 125 Lightweight Transit Wheelchair from Karma Mobility is a great-looking crash-tested wheelchair with many useful features. Made using aircraft grade aluminium tubing, this wheelchair breaks down easily with 9KGs being the heaviest component and from 12.7 KGs to 14.* KGs complete depending on the seat width. This wheelchair uses the clever patented S-Ergo seat technology to help stop the user from sliding down the seat and redistribute pressure for added comfort for the long-term user.

Additional features include flip-back armrests for easier transfer, extended ergonomic arm pads designed for increased support for the elbow, an oval tubed frame for added strength and Aegis microbe shield fabric to maintain clean and bacteria-free upholstery. This wheelchair is one of the best-designed transit wheelchairs we have seen. It demonstrates much thought has been given to its design.

A wheelchair that promotes good posture

The 125 benefits from the S' Ergo seating that prevents slipping down the seat and promotes good posture by spreading the load evenly. The S-Ergo seat design has been pressure mapped for the optimum shape and support.

The Ergo 125 transit wheelchair has attendant brakes and a double cross-braced frame which provides a strong and stable wheelchair that will support users up to 115 KGs. The Ergo 125 also has tune-in centre footplates giving more support than the traditional design. All in all, we think this is one of the best Karma transit wheelchairs.

Available in a choice of three seat widths, the Karma Ergo 125 transit wheelchair is a very well-made crash-tested wheelchair. This aluminium folding model has a fold-down backrest that reduces the space needed to store or transport the wheelchair. Made from aircraft-grade aluminium tubing the Ergo 125 wheelchair weighs less than 12.9 KG to 13.3 KG fully assembled and has a carry weight of 11KG to 11.4 KG. The seat is covered with Aegis microbe shield fabric to prevent any build-up of bacteria and to allow for easy cleaning. The seat itself has been designed to give maximum support and prevent slumping.

Features of the Ergo 125 wheelchair include flip-up armrests for easier transfers on and off the chair and extended ergonomic arm pads that provide increased support for the elbows. To the rear of the wheelchair, the attendant brakes can be used to slow and stop the wheelchair and anti-tip wheels prevent instability.

The aluminium frame is easy to fold and uses attractive oval tubing to give it added strength. With solid tyres all round, there is no chance of getting a puncture. All in all, this wheelchair has been designed to a very high standard to provide maximum support and comfort and represents good value for money.
