If you’re looking to upgrade from a standard power wheelchair to something more versatile, consider this stand-up wheelchair from Karman. What makes this wheelchair unique is the design of the seat. You can strap in your legs and torso, and then raise the seat bottom and back until you’re in a fully standing position.
That means that this wheelchair allows you to effectively stand up and move around. For many wheelchair users, standing up can make a world of difference. It puts you on eye level with family, friends, and coworkers, as well as helps address common problems with blood pressure and muscle tone.
The wheelchair is surprisingly light, at just 110 pounds. However, it doesn’t fold down so it can be hard to travel with. The good news is that it offers a speed of up to 5 mph – it’s tied for being the second-fastest electric wheelchair we reviewed – and up to 25 miles of travel on a single charge.
What we liked
This wheelchair features a rear-drive motor, but the turning radius is competitive with many front and mid-drive wheelchairs. You can spin around in just 25 inches. The large wheel size also makes this wheelchair more suitable for rolling around outside, although you’ll want to be careful about balance when moving outside in standing mode.
What could be better
Unfortunately, this wheelchair is extremely expensive – too expensive for most people’s budgets. We’d like to see a lifetime warranty at that price, but Karman only offers a 3-year guarantee on the frame and 1 year on the motor.
