The footrests cannot be lost, because they never come off

Sparrow 2 is Karma's SOMA 215 Tall sold under its UK name. It is a light self-propelling chair built around one patented idea that sounds small until you have lived with a wheelchair.

The one thing it does better: the footrests swing fully clear for a transfer without detaching. Every other chair in this range solves the transfer problem by having you pull the footrests off — and then they get left in the hall, in the car, at the day centre, or in a hospital corridor. Karma's own words: "Never lose a footrest again." If you have ever paid for a replacement footrest, or turned a car round to go back for one, that is the whole argument.

Who it suits

  • Users over about 162cm — this is the Tall version, with a 480mm seat-to-floor height
  • Someone who transfers often and would otherwise be forever taking footrests on and off
  • Carers and families tired of losing parts
  • Anyone wanting a self-propelling chair around 10.9kg at the lower end of the price range

Standard features

  • Patented swing-away footrests that rotate clear and lock without detaching
  • Seamless elliptical frame — minimal welds and components, for looks and durability
  • Flip-up armrests
  • Foldable backrest
  • Push & Pull attendant brake
  • Detachable upholstery, for cleaning
  • Anti-slip footplates and an attendant tipping lever for kerbs

Anti-tippers are available as an option.

VAT relief

Prices exclude VAT. Karma wheelchairs qualify for VAT relief under HMRC Notice 701/7 where the user is chronically sick or disabled, or a charity buys on their behalf. The declaration is completed at checkout.

Before you order

This model comes in one seat width and is the taller-seat version, so height matters more than usual here. If the user is under about 162cm their feet will not sit properly on the plates. A free equipment assessment takes ten minutes and rules that out. If you need 100kg-plus capacity, look at the Agile SP at 125kg.
