The Karma Ergo Lite Deluxe Self-Propel Wheelchair is a lightweight folding aluminium chair fitted with 20 inch solid tyre rear wheels, so the occupant can propel and brake the chair with their own hands while a carer can still push from the rear handles. Push to lock brakes park the chair and the swing-away removable footrests move clear for transfers. Double cross braces give the frame its rigidity, the backrest folds forward and the frame collapses to 31 cm wide for a car boot. The patented S-Ergo seat frame is shaped to distribute pressure and help prevent the user sliding forward, and the upholstery is fire retardant Dacron. Two sizes are listed, 41 x 41 cm (16 x 16 inch) and 46 x 41 cm (18 x 16 inch), measuring 63 cm and 65 cm overall, weighing 10.2 kg and 10.3 kg, with a maximum user weight of 100 kg.

For someone able to manage short distances under their own power, large rear wheels restore a good deal of everyday independence without the bulk of a heavier chair. At 10.2 to 10.3 kg the chair stays manageable to lift, the folding frame and backrest keep it practical for taxis and small boots, and the two sizes allow a reasonable fit.
