Ultralight and Sturdy
We strive to make the carer’s life easier. Weighing a mere 9.2 kg for the transit wheelchair, the ultralight weight lowers the risk of back injury by reducing the physical effort required to lift it. In addition, the rear wheels and the footrests of the self-propelled wheelchair are detachable, reducing the weight to 6 kg.
S-Ergo Seating System
The S-Ergo Seating is a patented seating system that helps promote pressure relief and stops the user from sliding forward in the seat. This makes the wheelchair comfortable and helps maintain good posture.
Detachable Swing-Away Footrest
It allows for easy transfer, on and off the wheelchair, and detaches with no tools required.
Compact and Portable
The Ergo Lite 2 weighs only 6 kg after removing the rear wheels and footrests. This makes storage and transport much more effortless.
Ergo Handrim
The new ergonomic handrim provides comfort and greater mobility for better propulsion and efficient braking.
AEGIS Microbe Shield
The upholstery is treated with AEGIS Microbe Shield, which the FDA, EPA, EU, etc have approved. The anti-microbial upholstery inhibits bacterial and fungal growth, eliminates odour and is designed for easy cleaning. It is a shield for your health.
