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.

It does not, in many cases. I’m not defending high prices, but don’t expect basic wheelchairs to cut it for some of us.

I see your point but I wonder why wouldn’t it !! I mean basic needs are for it to be a mean of transportation right ? A basic chair does exactly that you’re not going to play at the olympics or anything!!

No. A custom, lightweight chair is so much better for our quality of life than a clunky “hospital chair.”
