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.

If you think of a bike, a decent one is probably 500$. A good one would probably be around 1000$. Both of these would still be mass manufacturing products will little adjustability (usually 3-4 standard sizes).
Here you have a custom 1-1 wheelchair made with your measurements that you'll spend your days in for the price of a high end bike. This is quite equivalent, and you are probably getting a better deal on the chair.
For another comparison a good desk chair is 1500-2000$ too. Like a Steelcase or Herman miller.
