FAQ'S

Frequently Asked Questions: Karma Ergo 3 Self-Propelled Wheelchair

 

1. What is the S-Ergo Seating System and what are its benefits?

The patented S-Ergo Seating System is a specially designed S-shaped seat that contours to the human body. Unlike standard flat seats, it helps to stabilise the user’s posture, prevents them from slipping forward, and distributes weight more evenly across the thighs and buttocks. This can significantly reduce the risk of pressure sores and provides greater comfort, especially for those who use their wheelchair for extended periods throughout the day.

2. How easy is the Ergo 3 to transport and store?

The Ergo 3 is designed with portability in mind. It has a lightweight but strong aluminium frame, weighing from just 13 kg. Key features that make it easy to transport include a fold-down backrest and quick-release rear wheels, which allow the chair to be folded into a compact size. This makes it straightforward to lift and fit into a typical car boot, ideal for days out, appointments, or holidays.

3. Is the wheelchair adjustable to fit different users?

Yes, the Karma Ergo 3 Self Propelled Wheelchair offers several adjustments to ensure a good fit. It is available in various seat widths (commonly 16”, 18”, and 20”) to accommodate different body sizes. Furthermore, it features flip-back armrests, which make side transfers from a bed or chair much easier, and detachable, swing-away footrest hangers for convenience and improved access.

4. Who is this wheelchair best suited for?

The Ergo 3 self-propelled model is ideal for active, independent users who want a comfortable, lightweight, and modern-looking wheelchair, or anybody being pushed, and wants a comfortable wheelchair. Its ergonomic design makes it suitable for all-day use, providing excellent postural support. It performs well both indoors, with its nimble manoeuvrability, and outdoors on pavements and in shopping centres. It is a great choice for those seeking a step up in comfort and quality from a basic manual wheelchair.

5. What kind of maintenance does the Ergo 3 require?

Regular maintenance is straightforward and helps to keep the wheelchair in safe, working order. We recommend you periodically:

  • Check Tyre Pressure: Ensure the rear tyres are inflated to the recommended pressure for the smoothest ride and easiest self-propelling.
  • Inspect Brakes: Regularly check that the parking brakes engage securely and hold the chair firmly in place.
  • Clean the Frame: Wipe down the frame with a damp cloth to keep it clean.
  • Check for Loose Parts: Visually inspect for any loose nuts or bolts. For peace of mind, it is advisable to have the wheelchair professionally serviced once a year by an authorised dealer.

6. Are there optional accessories available for the Karma Ergo 3?

Yes, a range of accessories is available to customise the wheelchair to your specific needs. Popular additions include elevating leg rests for users who need to keep one or both legs raised, anti-tip wheels for added stability on gradients, and a variety of specialised pressure-relief cushions that can be used with the S-Ergo seat. You can also get accessories like crutch holders and storage bags. It is best to discuss your requirements with your mobility equipment supplier.
