Description Features The Ergo-Lite 2 is an ultralight aluminium wheelchair with the ergonomic features of the Ergo-Lite. Detachable swing-away footrests allow easy transfer in and out of the wheelchair. You can choose between the transit wheelchair with 14″ rear wheels or the self-propel wheelchair with 20″ quick-release rear wheels. The wheels of the Ergo-Lite 2 self-propel are smaller than most other self-propelled wheelchairs, making it more agile to use and easier to manoeuvre in tight spaces. We strive to make the carer’s life easier. Weighing at a mere 9.2 kg for the transit wheelchair, the ultralight weight lowers the risk for back injury by reducing the physical effort required to lift it. In addition, the rear wheels and the footrests of the self-propel wheelchair are detachable, reducing the weight to 6kg. Ergo-Lite wheelchairs are a breeze to lift in and out of a car and the minimal weight and ergonomic design make it easy to propel and control. The S-Ergo Seating is a patented seating system which helps promote pressure relief and helps to stop the user sliding forward in the seat. This makes the wheelchair comfortable, whilst maintaining good posture for the user. The ergonomic hand-rim on the Self-Propel version provides comfort and greater mobility for better propulsion and efficient braking. The upholstery is treated with AEGIS Microbe Shield, which is FDA, EPA and EU approved. This anti-microbial upholstery inhibits bacterial and fungal growth, eliminates odour and is designed for easy cleaning, providing a shield to help protect your health.
