Your independence, in a chair light enough to lift yourself

If you like to get about under your own steam but struggle with a heavy wheelchair, the Karma Ergo Lite 2 Self-Propel could make a real difference. At around 10.7 kg it's an ultra-light folding chair, and with the 20" rear wheels and footrests taken off, Karma say the part you lift is about 6 kg.

Shaped handrims make pushing and slowing down easier on your hands, while Karma's S-Ergo seat helps you sit back comfortably without sliding. The breathable, anti-microbial upholstery comes off for washing, so the chair stays fresh for everyday use.

✅ Key Features & Benefits

• Ultra-light at around 10.7 kg
  Easier to fold, lift and load on your own — particularly helpful if you have weaker arms, shoulders or wrists.

• Quick-release 20" rear wheels
  Pop the wheels off to make the chair smaller and lighter for the car boot.

• Ergonomic handrims
  Shaped to make pushing and braking with your hands more comfortable, which can help if you have arthritis or tire easily.

• S-Ergo seating
  The shaped seat eases pressure and helps stop you slipping forward, so you stay comfortable for longer.

• Washable, anti-microbial upholstery
  Breathable fabric that resists bacteria and odours, and can be removed for washing.

• Tool-free swing-away footrests
  Swing them aside or lift them off for easier transfers and a lighter lift.

Colours available

Pearl Silver.

Who it suits best

• Independent users who want to self-propel and load their own chair
• People who travel by car or holiday regularly
• Anyone who finds a standard wheelchair too heavy

Worth knowing before you buy

The maximum user weight is 100 kg (15.7 st), so it isn't suitable for heavier users — a sturdier standard or heavy-duty wheelchair would be safer. Karma don't state that this model is crash tested, so if you need to travel seated in your wheelchair in a vehicle, choose a crash-tested chair instead.
