Optional Extras
The Tipping lever extends from the bottom of the frame and is designed to make it easier to move the wheelchair over obstacles, such as curbs. The person pushing the wheelchair will put weight on the tipping lever, which causes the wheelchair to tip backwards.
Anti-Tip Casters are not always present on conventional wheelchairs, but they can usually be added. They are designed to prevent the wheelchair from tipping over backwards. In the event that the wheelchair tips over too far, the anti-tip casters make contact with the ground, preventing it from completely tipping over.

I spent a whole lot of time searching for the best lightweight wheelchair and I have found it perfectly with the Karma Ergo Lite 2 wheelchair. It is by far the lightest wheelchair I have found that is also robust enough to carry my weight. The advice I had from the DisAbility Shop was amazing and convinced me that I should purchase from them and the price was amazing as well. I thoroughly recommend both the Ergo Lite 2 wheelchair and the DisAbility Shop. First class all around.
