Self-propel chair weighs in at just 23lbs complete

Karma Mobility has launched its lightest ever self-propel wheelchair.

The Ergo Lite 2 transit has been developed to include swing in/out detachable footrest hangers and weighs from just from 8.8kg (19lbs) complete; while the Ergo Lite 2 self-propel model weighs from only 10.3kg (23lbs) complete.

Mark Duffield of Karma Mobility said: “The self-propel version of the Ergo Lite 2 has been specifically developed in response to demand from our retailers. It is something that many have requested we launch, thanks to the popularity of the Ergo Lite transit. We always strive to provide our retailers with the best possible products and listen to what their customers require, so we are delighted to have launched our Ergo Lite 2 models.

The Ergo Lite 2 offers an extremely lightweight mobility solution without compromising strength and durability. It has the same reliable, high-quality components as the rest of the Ergo range, but every part of the Ergo Lite 2 has been streamlined in order to reduce weight.

Features include the S-Ergo seat, which offers pressure redistribution and helps prevent the user sliding down; and a three-staged braking system for greater safety and peace of mind. It also boasts Aegis microbe shield upholstery which protects the chair from odour, deterioration and staining.
