Karma Ergo 115

Karma’s Ergo family is a best-selling range of lightweight wheelchairs. Their Ergo Lite is one of our most popular chairs for its 9.2 kg weight, but some people find its weight capacity and small castor wheels restrictive.

The Ergo 115 features a stronger frame, allowing it to accommodate people up to 18 stone (115 kg). The larger castor wheels also provide a little extra comfort outside.

Available in either transit versions (small rear wheels for the lightest weight) or self-propelled (larger rear wheels to allow the user to manoeuvre themselves), the Ergo 115 has a choice of 16, 18 or 20 inch seat widths – the 20 inch seat is a little more expensive. This choice lets you get a wheelchair that suits your lifestyle, in a size that fits.

The patented S-Ergo seat features on the Ergo 115, the unique shape providing a comfortable seating position, while also maintaining good posture by reducing forward sliding.

Our Verdict

While the Ergo 115 is a little heavier than the Ergo Lite, it is still a lightweight wheelchair, easy to fold and lift into and out of your car. For those making more regular use of the wheelchair outside, and who might be going along rougher paths, it is our pick.
