Why Choose the KARMA Ryder 12?
🪶 Lightweight Aluminium Construction
The aluminium-frame design provides an excellent balance between strength, portability and manageable weight. It is easier for attendants and caregivers to handle compared with many traditional steel-frame wheelchairs.
📦 Foldable & Travel-Friendly
The foldable frame and backrest make the wheelchair easier to store, transport and carry, making it a smart choice for users who frequently move between home, hospital, vehicle and other locations.
↔️ Flip-Back Armrests for Easier Transfers
Flip-back armrests create additional clearance beside the seat, helping make bed-to-wheelchair and chair-to-wheelchair transfers more convenient.
🦶 Flip-Up Footrests
The flip-up footrests provide useful leg clearance during transfers and make getting in and out of the wheelchair more convenient.
🛑 Attendant Brakes for Better Control
The attendant brake system gives caregivers additional control when manoeuvring the wheelchair, particularly when stopping or positioning the chair.
🛞 Solid / Mag Wheel Configuration
The Ryder 12 is available with a compact wheel configuration designed for dependable everyday mobility and reduced concern about punctures. Current listings commonly identify 14-inch solid/mag rear wheels, although published configurations vary by listing, so verify the exact variant before publishing.
💪 Up to 100 kg User Capacity
Published specifications consistently identify a maximum user weight capacity of 100 kg, making the Ryder 12 suitable for a broad range of everyday mobility requirements.
Built for Caregivers. Designed for Comfort.
For many wheelchair users, mobility also involves a caregiver, family member or attendant.
The Ryder 12 recognises this reality.
Its attendant-friendly controls, foldable architecture and transfer-friendly armrests help reduce unnecessary effort during everyday wheelchair handling.
The result is a mobility experience designed not only around the user, but also around the person helping them.
Easy Transfers. Easier Everyday Life.
Getting into and out of a wheelchair can be challenging when armrests and footrests restrict access.
The Ryder 12 addresses this with flip-back armrests and flip-up footrests, creating additional clearance for transfers.
This makes it particularly practical for:
Bed-to-wheelchair transfers
Chair-to-wheelchair transfers
Hospital use
Home care
Caregiver-assisted mobility
Short-distance daily movement
Compact When You Need It
Space is valuable—especially inside cars and homes.
The Ryder 12's folding construction helps reduce its storage footprint when not in use. Current listings describe a compact closed width of approximately 14 inches, although dimensions can vary by configuration and source.
That makes it easier to:
Fold → Store → Transport → Unfold → Move
No unnecessary complexity.
