The Karman Ergo Flight S-2512 is an ultralight folding wheelchair in 6061 T6 aluminium with an S-shaped ergonomic seat frame. In 16 and 18 in seat widths it weighs 19.8 lb without footrests, and the frame alone is 14.5 lb. It folds to 13 in wide and comes with companion brakes, swing-away footrests and flat-free tyres.
