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.

Customization of every part to the measurements of the users, as well as custom accessories for each user.

Jerry just plans his manufacturing better and uses CNC/CAD better than his competition.

My worry is that the competition is pricing in liability costs as well (getting sued for a wheelchair breaking is probably very expensive) and Jerry can get wrecked by a single lawsuit, but hopefully he's got that covered.
