About Karma Mobility

What Makes the Ergo3 Wheelchair Different

The key difference with the Karma MobilitydErgo3 is its ergonomic design.

This is not a standard flat-seated wheelchair. The seating system is ergonomically shaped to support the body in a more natural position, helping users sit more comfortably for longer periods.

The contoured seating and supportive backrest encourage better posture and reduce the tendency to slump. For many users, this can help reduce discomfort, fatigue and pressure points associated with prolonged sitting.

Good posture also improves head position and visibility, which helps with social interaction and awareness of surroundings. You can fit a headrest for transportation if needed .

Lightweight and Practical for Everyday Life

The Ergo3 is constructed using a lightweight aluminium frame. This makes it easier to self-propel and easier for carers or family members to push. It is also simpler to lift into a car or store when folded.

Despite being lightweight, the chair feels sturdy and stable. This balance between strength and reduced weight is one of the reasons it works well for both users and carers.

The folding frame makes it suitable for day-to-day activities such as shopping trips, medical appointments or social outings.

Key Features of the Karma Ergo3

Ergonomic Seating System

The ergonomic seat base and backrest are designed to follow the natural shape of the body. This helps distribute weight more evenly and improves comfort during longer periods of sitting.

Flip-Back Armrests

Flip-back armrests allow easier side transfers and make it simpler to get closer to tables, desks or worktops. This feature is particularly useful for users who transfer independently or with assistance.

Swing-Away and Detachable Footrests

The footrests can be swung away or removed entirely, making transfers easier and reducing obstacles when getting in and out of the chair.

Attendant Brakes

The push-handle brakes are designed to be easy for carers to use without bending down. This improves safety and reduces strain for those assisting the user.

Side Guards and Storage

The side guards help protect clothing and legs from the wheels and also include small storage pockets for personal items such as phones or keys.

Size Options and Adjustability

The Ergo3 is available in multiple seat widths, making it suitable for a wide range of body types. Choosing the correct size is essential for comfort, posture and safety, which is why we always recommend professional assessment.

At Fen Mobility Centre, we ensure seat width, footrest height and overall setup are matched to the individual user rather than relying on guesswork.

Accessories to Suit Your Lifestyle

One of the strengths of the Karma range is the wide selection of compatible accessories. At Fen Mobility Centre, we supply and fit a broad range of options, including:

• Pressure-relief cushions

• Memory foam and gel cushions

• Seat covers and weather protection

• Lap trays and tables

• Storage bags and carry pouches

• Anti-tip devices

• Safety belts and positioning supports

• Cane holders and cup holders

Accessories are not just extras. They often make the difference between a wheelchair that is acceptable and one that truly works for everyday life.

The Importance of Suitability Testing

Even an excellent wheelchair like the Ergo3 will not be right for everyone. This is why testing and assessment are so important.

Here at #lightweghtmobilityandseating we strongly encourage users to try we the wheelchair in person wherever possible.

This allows us to assess posture, comfort, reach, propulsion and overall suitability.

Testing also helps identify which accessories or adjustments may be needed to achieve the best outcome.
