Review by Elizabeth F. on 10 May 2022review stating Mom’s favorite!
I needed a chair that I could take with us, but wasn’t too heavy to lift into the car. This was perfect. When I am pushing, the hand brakes are great. Mom ordered a second chair for in the home. She gets around in it far better than her large wheelchair. Mom is soon to be 96 y/o.
Review by Irene A. on 23 Nov 2021review stating A life changer!
At 98 my formerly active mother’s knee collapsed. She started off in a transport wheelchair while we figured out what to do. After reading about the types of ultralight wheelchairs, a local medical supply recommended Karmen. I was able to speak with their customer service, who helped me narrow the chair down to the S Ergo 115. It’s lightweight, ve...Read MoreRead more about At 98 my formerly active mother’s knee
ry maneuverable and because it comes in a 16 inch, it can get through narrow doorways. We haven’t put the foot supports on, which allows Mom to use her feet as well as her arms to move around the house. She is thrilled with her new mobility, the only problem we’re having is getting her to slow down! Cost wise, the price was $200 less than a similar model at a local wheelchair store. We purchased directly from the factory and the transaction in the delivery could not have been smoother. Thank you for this life-changing product!

Review by Tom M. on 28 Feb 2025review stating Karman Helping Thousands to Get Around & Making Life Better
The Karman lightweight wheelchairs make life livable and accessible. They are easy to fold and transport - making shopping, gardening, landscaping second nature. They are very durable in all weather conditions, as well. (Usually, I replace the seat cushion). The metal folding system could be made stronger though. Thank you, Karman!
