Easily portable and compact
Our ultralight foldable wheelchair is the market-leading Karma Ergo Lite 2 Transit. Built with strong aluminium frames, the premium ultralight wheelchair weighs only 9.2 kg. It is our lightest wheelchair available for hire, and it is over 30% lighter than our 13.5 kg lightweight foldable wheelchair. Its ultralight and foldable design makes it easy to lift into your car boot or carry over short distances. Seamlessly fold the backrest and frame for compact storage. The ultralight wheelchairs come with smaller transit wheels to reduce weight, making the Ergo Lite 2 perfect for indoor environments or smooth urban terrains. Its footrest can be conveniently swung in and out, and also detached for storage or during transfers in tight areas.
Designed to support better posture
Despite its lightweight frame, the Karma Ergo Lite 2 offers a comfortable seating system. It features the patented S-Ergo seat, an S-shaped seat base that helps encourage ergonomic posture, redistribute weight and pressure, and prevent slipping. Adding to your comfort, the footrest is adjustable to accommodate different heights. The ergonomic design keeps you comfortable, particularly during longer journeys or frequent daily use.
Adapting to each user, the ultralight foldable wheelchair comes in two seat widths: 16 and 18 inches. It also supports up to 100 kg, offering a sturdy yet lightweight solution.
Safety and control
The ultralight foldable wheelchair comes with attendant brakes, which help attendants gain better control of the chair on slopes, kerbs and hills. The responsive brake system makes managing descents or holding the chair stationary significantly easier, contributing to safer and more comfortable outings for both user and attendant.
As the ultralight foldable wheelchair is not crash tested, it cannot be used as an occupied wheelchair in transport vehicles. If you intend to use the wheelchair in a vehicle, you can consider the crash-tested Lightweight Foldable Wheelchair.
Our Verdict
At just 9.2 kg, the ultralight wheelchair is the lightest model in our hire range, offering a premium solution for effortless travel and everyday use. While the ultralight wheelchair weighs the least, the Lightweight Foldable Wheelchair offers greater stability with its larger wheels and is a more cost-effective solution. Additionally, the Lightweight Foldable Wheelchair is crash-tested and can be used as an occupied wheelchair. If you have a greater budget and do not require a wheelchair in your vehicle, the ultralight wheelchair would be the best choice available.
