Comments about Karman Karman Ultralight Compact Wheelchair:

The order for the Karman S-115 was delivered promptly. I was able to assemble the footrests without problems. I still have not figured out how to fold it except the back and this two weeks after the delivery.

1-800-Wheelchair Response: From the user guide: Before folding the wheelchair, flip up the footplates to a vertical position. Grasp the seat sling (in the center width wise, from the back & front) and lift sharply until the wheelchair is folded.

Comments about Karman Karman Ultralight Compact Wheelchair:

I have been using this wheelchair for quite a while now, and have enjoyed it. I am quite heavy and i am suprised this small lightwheel chair could support me, and i have never heard it crack or complain about my weight. Its very light and i actually walk my dog with it as well as just ride around the nieghboorhood with it, i even went to vacation with my daighter and brought it along in the car, very easy to store in the trunk as well as putting it in back and forth, VERY EXCELLENT WHEELCHAIR!!!

Comments about Karman Karman Ultralight Compact Wheelchair:

I love how this chair looks. It's very sleek and stylish. The handrim feels like it's made of cheap plastic but those are really cheap and easy to replace. Don't love the material of the front casters but those are also easily replaced. Folds up VERY small. I love that the back folds down to give your arms more freedom or to keep people from pushing you. I sometimes use it like a walker on hills or to carry my books or backpack or groceries because my arms aren't too strong. The fixed armrests do not get in my way and the footrests are very adjustable. Surprisingly I do not need an extra cushion with this. Back is easy to put up or down with two clicks. Perfect for my dorm, a friend's small trunk, or the bus. Not sure how it will hold out over time, but so far so good. I highly recommend it, especially for look-conscious young people like myself.

Comments about Karman Karman Ultralight Compact Wheelchair:

I don't have anyone to help me and, believe me, I can get this in and out of my car by myself, get into the store or wherever I'm going and manage by myself. ON days that I can walk pretty good, I use it to haul the trash to the curb and the I ride it back to the house. Use it to haul groceries from the car to the house etc. I never run out of uses for it.
