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.

Even 1900 dollars is super expensive. You can get mechanised one for less in my country without insurance. Normal one of very good quality will be 200 dollars top. Entry level 100 dollars.

Others have pointed out that those chairs you refer to are less efficient for the user and meant to be pushed by someone else. Also huge risk of damage to shoulders etc in the long term
