Senior wheelchair users tend to have weaker upper body control, leading to slouched or downward-facing head positions. The Ergo Seating System addresses this common issue by incorporating scientifically proven seating angles, effectively promoting equilibrium in body posture.

Ergo 3 features the optimal seating angles to:

Promote a stable, healthy posture

Alleviate chronic sitting discomfort

Enhance field of vision

Improve social interactions

Patented Ergo Lumbar Support

Karma’s innovative S-Ergo Backrest enhances comfort and stability, allowing users—especially those with reduced muscular endurance- to maintain a proper, healthy posture easily.

Karma’s Ergo Series lightweight wheelchairs include a set of adjustable curved inserts that provide direct lumbar support and maximize comfort.

Intuitive Design

Designed with users and caregivers in mind, all movable parts are highlighted in high-visibility orange for easy identification and operation.

Push & Pull Brake System

Just push the attendant brake to park the chair and pull to unlock it.

It is ideal for caregivers who can’t continuously bend over to park the wheelchair.

Flip-Back Armrests

It makes it easy to get on and off the wheelchair or roll closer to a table or desk.

Detachable Swing-Away Footrests

It allows for easy transfer, on and off the wheelchair, and detaches with no tools required.

Multi-Functional Side Guards

Discreet, easily accessible pockets are elegantly integrated into the inner sides of the side guards for added convenience. In contrast, the outer sides feature reflective accents to enhance visibility and safety outdoors.

Lightweight Innovation

Despite its many innovative features, the Karma Ergo 3 wheelchair is one of the lightest wheelchairs on the market, with a total weight of just 11.9 kg (about 26 pounds) in its base configuration.

Optional Patented Ergo Anti-Tippers

Quick-Release to Overcome Curbs in ONE Single Step

Modern Look

Manual Wheelchair Maintenance

Maintain Peak Performance with Regular Servicing

Regular maintenance is essential to keep your wheelchair performing at its best. By following this simple checklist, you can extend the life of your wheelchair and ensure your safety and comfort.

Daily Checks

Ensure the wheelchair rolls without resistance.

Check for vibrations, unusual noises, or any changes you notice.

Confirm that the wheel locks are working correctly.

Check the tyres: low pressure, flat spots, or signs of wear.

Listen for irregular noises or rattles that may indicate loose components.

Weekly Checks

Use a tyre gauge to check the tyre pressure.

Check the tension of the seat upholstery.
- It should maintain a straight angle when the wheelchair is open and positioned.

Tyre Pressure Adjustment

Tyre pressure adjustments with the appropriate tools.

Maintaining the correct pressure is crucial for smooth rolling and improved manoeuvrability.

Monthly Checks

Inspect the wheel alignment to ensure proper tracking.

Check the fork bearings to confirm they are moving freely without stiffness.
