Karma Agile Lightweight Wheelchair – Self‑Propel or Transit
£381.90Each
The workhorse. 125kg capacity, crash tested, aircraft-grade frame, flip-up armrests. Built for consistent supply and minimal servicing.
Description
The one you buy when it has to keep working
The Agile is the plain, tough end of the Karma range. Fixed specification, no adjustment to drift out of position, and an aircraft-grade frame rated to 125kg. Karma’s own framing: it is “an economical solution for consistent supply, quick turnaround, and minimal after-sale servicing”.
The one thing it does better: it carries more for less. At 125kg it takes 25kg more user weight than the Ergo Lite range and 10kg more than the S-Ergo chairs, it is crash tested, and it still costs less than any of them. If you need capacity and durability rather than a tailored fit — a spare chair, a loan chair, a second chair for the car, a heavier user on a budget — this is the sensible answer.
Who it suits
- Users up to 125kg
- Anyone needing a robust everyday chair rather than a prescription fit
- Loan pools, care homes, day centres and second chairs — low maintenance is the point
- Travel in an adapted vehicle, since it is crash tested
Standard features
- Lightweight aircraft-grade folding frame
- Flip-up armrests and detachable swing-away footrests

VAT relief
Prices exclude VAT. Karma wheelchairs qualify for VAT relief under HMRC Notice 701/7 where the user is chronically sick or disabled, or a charity buys on their behalf. The declaration is completed at checkout.
Worth knowing
The Agile’s specification is fixed — seat depth, seat height and backrest height do not adjust. That is deliberate and it is why it needs so little servicing, but it does mean the size has to be right at the point of order. Book a free equipment assessment and we will measure before anything is ordered.
A 20″ seat width is also made — ask us for a price. More in Lightweight Wheelchairs.
