A featherweight wheelchair that makes days out easy for you and whoever is pushing

When a long walk is beyond you, a light transit wheelchair means you can still say yes to the garden centre, a hospital appointment or a family lunch. The Karma Ergo Lite 2 Transit weighs about 9.2 kg, so the person helping you can lift it into the boot without dreading it.

It is pushed by a companion rather than self-propelled, and it's the seat that sets it apart. Karma's shaped S-Ergo seat holds you comfortably in place so you don't keep slipping forward, which makes longer outings far more pleasant for you and easier for your helper.

✅ Key Features & Benefits

• Only about 9.2 kg in total
  Light enough for a partner, son or daughter to fold and lift into the car without hurting their back. Take the footrests off and the main frame is lighter still.

• S-Ergo shaped seat
  The seat is curved to stop you sliding forward and to spread your weight, which helps if you sit for a while and get sore or uncomfortable.

• Swing-away footrests that come off without tools
  Move them out of the way to stand up or get in and out of the chair with less twisting, or lift them off to make the chair lighter to carry.

• Folds down to under 30 cm wide
  Tucks into a car boot, a hallway or the corner of a room, so it's ready when you need it and out of the way when you don't.

• 14" rear wheels and 6" front castors
  Small, neat wheels keep the chair compact and nimble to steer through doorways, shops and cafés.

• Breathable, washable upholstery
  The anti-microbial covers come off for washing, so the chair stays fresh and comfortable even on warm days.

• Two seat widths
  Choose 40 cm or 45 cm so you sit snugly without feeling squeezed — we can help you measure.

Worth knowing before you buy

This is a transit chair, so you can't push yourself along — if you'd like to wheel yourself, the self-propel version with larger rear wheels is the one to look at. The maximum user weight is 100 kg, so if you are heavier, or you'll be sitting in a wheelchair for most of the day and need extra posture or pressure support, a sturdier chair or an active wheelchair set up for you will be a better choice.

Questions customers ask us

Will it fit in my car boot?
Very likely. Folded it measures about 63.5 cm long, 28–29.5 cm wide and 70 cm high, and it weighs around 9.2 kg.

What's the difference between transit and self-propel?
A transit chair has small rear wheels and is pushed by someone else. A self-propel chair has large rear wheels with handrims so you can move yourself.
