Lightweight. Pressure-Redistributing. Crash Test Certified.
Rediscover comfort and mobility with the Karman VIP2, an advanced tilt-in-space and reclining transport wheelchair engineered for users who need long-term seating, pressure redistribution, and ergonomic support. Weighing just 43 lbs. (without footrests), this aircraft-grade aluminum chair folds compactly and travels easily, making it ideal for caregivers and active users alike.

What's it all About?
Rediscover comfort, mobility, & independence with the Karman VIP2TR Tilt-in-Space Reclining Transport Wheelchair, engineered for users across differing needs, requiring advanced pressure-relief mobility solutions.
As with the Karman 515 tilt in space Wheelchair, you'll discover the same use cases apply; the differences are across design and tech specs.

The VIP2TR builds on the trusted foundation of the VIP515, adding independent recline functionality to its tilt-in-space design. While both models offer up to 35° of tilt for pressure relief and posture support, the VIP2TR introduces a separate 30° recline feature, ideal for users needing advanced positioning for comfort, circulation, or medical needs.

This ultra-lightweight (43 lbs.) wheelchair combines ergonomic support with crash-test certified safety, making it ideal for both caregivers and active users.

Crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum, the VIP2TR folds compactly for trunk storage and travel. Its tilt-and-recline system (0–35° tilt, 0–30° recline) redistributes pressure and enhances postural alignment, perfect for long-term seating needs.

Whether you're navigating city sidewalks or rural roads, the flat-free polyurethane wheels ensure smooth indoor/outdoor mobility. The AEGIS® anti-microbial upholstery resists odor, staining, and bacterial growth, offering hygiene and durability in every setting. Read More
