The Drive Medical BLS18FBD-ELR is a great affordable product for people who need a temporary solution until they fully recover. It is made of high-quality materials, and the breathable upholstery ensures comfort even during long periods of use. The desk arms are detachable, making this wheelchair a convenient option for indoor use, and leg rests can be elevated to provide extra support. This wheelchair is easily maneuverable even in tight spaces, and durable push-to-lock tires offer extra safety. There are also multiple seat width options available, so you can choose the one that best suits your body. The only downside of the Drive Medical BLS18FBD-ELR is its weight capacity of 250 lbs., which might not be enough for some people.

However, the Drive Medical BLS18FBD-ELR weighs about 41.25 pounds, while the Karman S-115 weighs about 25 pounds.
