Karman S-Ergo 115 Folding Manual Wheelchair

The S-115 is a folding manual wheelchair with Karman's S-shaped seat frame, Aegis-treated upholstery, fixed armrests, a folding backrest and swing-away footrests. Its contoured frame and center footplate are designed to shape the seating and leg-support layout; they do not guarantee pressure relief or a particular fit. Compare the chair's setup with the user's seated posture, ability to propel and transfer routine.

Seat Width and Capacity

The listing offers 16-, 18- and 20-inch seat widths with a 17-inch seat depth and a 250 lb weight capacity. Choose by the user's measurements and allow for clothing and preferred positioning. Check the selected seat width against doorways, table access and the space needed to position the footrests; a wider seat changes the chair's overall width.

Rear Wheels and Folding

The backrest folds and the footrests swing away to help with storage and transfers. The S-115 is sold in wheel configurations that differ by SKU: some have quick-release rear wheels and others do not. Frame color and component weight can also vary with the selected configuration. Confirm the exact rear-wheel release option, complete-chair lifting weight and folded dimensions before planning vehicle transport; do not transfer a weight figure from one version to another.

Foot Support and Daily Handling

The tube-in-center footplate is intended to support the legs from the middle, while swing-away footrests can clear the front of the chair for access. Confirm that the selected seat width and footrest position support the user's posture and reach. Use and inspect the folding joints, wheels and footrests according to Karman's instructions, and seek a seating professional's input when positioning needs are complex.

Before Ordering

Verify the 16-, 18- or 20-inch seat, wheel-release setup, frame color and included components. The listing gives a 250 lb capacity, but the complete chair's weight and fit depend on the selected version. Review the measurements and lifting plan for the actual configuration rather than relying on a model-family assumption.
