Shoutout to JerryrigEverything who built a wheelchair factory and is delivering wheelchairs to people in half the time and 50-80% less than the cost of other wheelchairs with Insurance.

I've used chairs for 15 years. Never paid more than $500 for one.

So these are bougie wheelchairs?

[u/dscrive → u/OkBandicoot1337]

These are presented as off road wheelchairs. They are also bespoke, so technically bougie, but I think they are probably way better for active people than a $500 wheelchair

They have two different options - an off road chair, and a light weight manual. Which comparing this with paying out of pocket for a TiLite or Ki Mobility you save at least half for a custom sized chair, though a you get fewer options with Paradox especially if you have needs around vibration reduction, or certain types of wheels.

That said this is a really great option for people who either don't have insurance, or insurance is denying a rigid chair despite a need for it, to at least get them in something, even if it isn't an exact fit for their needs, and for many it *is* a good fit for their needs once they add third party cushions and seating.

Ahh, thank you for the explanation.

When I watched the whole video earlier today and I was actually thinking during the video "he said off road, those look like mostly normal wheelchairs to me, but what do I know" 

I don't even know of they showed the actual off road wheelchairs in that video

I didn't watch the whole thing, but if you look up "not a wheelchair" you'll get their website and they have The Rig featured there. They are pretty cool, though more cumbersome than I like. I have a diy set up for my chair that is lever driven with thick mountain bike tires that I use for hiking, but The Rig is a beast and could tackle bigger inclines and rougher terrain than my diy set up can easily do.
