Sit well, push easily and stay comfortable all day

Back ache and slumping are common complaints from people who spend long days in a standard wheelchair. The Karma Ergo 3 Self-Propel tackles that with Karma's shaped Ergo Back and S-Ergo seat, including adjustable lumbar support, so you sit upright and supported rather than sliding down.

It's light for a fully featured chair at around 11.9 kg in its basic set-up, with quick-release rear wheels for pushing yourself, flip-back arms for transfers and handy pockets in the side guards. Thoughtful touches like bright orange adjustment levers make it easy to live with.

✅ Key Features & Benefits

• Ergo Back with adjustable lumbar support
  Supports the natural curve of your lower back — a real help if you get back ache or find yourself slouching by mid-afternoon.

• S-Ergo shaped seat
  Helps spread pressure and stops you sliding forward, so you stay comfortable and well positioned for longer.

• Light aluminium frame from 11.9 kg
  Easier to fold and lift into the car, especially with the quick-release rear wheels taken off.

• Flip-back armrests and swing-away footrests
  Clear the way for sideways or standing transfers; the footrests come off without tools.

• Side guards with pockets
  Keep your phone, keys or purse close at hand, with reflective strips on the outside to help you be seen.

• Bright orange adjustment levers
  Moving parts are easy to spot, which helps if your eyesight isn't what it was, and makes the chair simpler for carers to adjust.

• Crash tested
  Approved to ISO 7176-19 for use as a seat in a suitably adapted vehicle.

Colours available

Pearl Silver, Silver Black or Rose Red frame, with grey upholstery.

Who it suits best

• Daily users who want better posture and back support
• People who self-propel and lift their chair into a car
• Anyone who tends to slide forward in a standard wheelchair

Worth knowing before you buy

The maximum user weight is 125 kg (19.7 st), but this drops to 115 kg (18 st) if the push-and-pull attendant brake is fitted. Optional anti-tippers are available if you're worried about tipping backwards on kerbs. If you need tilt or a lot of postural support, a tilt-in-space wheelchair may suit you better.
