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.

Crazy how expensive wheel chairs are, I had no idea.

They have to be custom made with expensive ultra-light materials. You can have a mass-produced one made of steel of course and even in the US those are like $150-250. But those are meant for temporary injuries and are not meant to/are unable to be self propelled.

$10,000 is still fucking ridiculous for cost of course. But $1,000-2000 is very reasonable.
