It's a rear-wheel-drive chair with a simple, adjustable sling seat for people with low to moderate seating needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt reaches up to 7.5 mph and, with its 80Ah batteries, Karma quotes around 27 miles on a charge. A trip into town, a long walk with the dog or a visit across the village is comfortably within reach. It's crash tested too, so it can travel with you in an adapted vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e✅ Key Features \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRear-wheel drive for outdoor stability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKarma designed the Leon R to stay steady on uneven ground and over small obstacles, so bumpy paths feel calmer and you feel more secure going further from home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrash tested to ISO 7176-19\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the correct restraints it can be used as a seat in a wheelchair-accessible vehicle, so you can stay in your chair for the journey instead of transferring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAround 27 miles on a charge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnough for a full day out — shops, café and home again — without keeping one eye on the battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable sling seat in two widths\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChoose a 17\" or 19\" seat, and the depth adjusts in steps, so the seat can be set to fit you.

If you need to lift your chair into a car, a folding powerchair is the better route. Rear-wheel-drive chairs also need a little more room to turn than mid-wheel-drive ones, so if your home has tight hallways or a small bathroom, a mid-wheel-drive chair may suit you better. If you need more postural support, look at a chair with configurable rehab seating instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions customers ask us\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I stay in it in a wheelchair taxi or minibus?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
