Electric Wheelchairs
the cheapest realistic one for someone who needs an electric wheelchair is 4000, not 200.
and that has neither upper back nor neck support. it does not recline. you will get sores from it.
If you buy something for that price, I hope you have somebody who can come and get you when it fucks up and leaves you in the middle of nowhere.
Considering how dystopian this world is I expected them to be more expensive, still expensive tho
I expected them to be more than that.
Keep in mind those are probably drop-ship Amazon quality. I'd expect 5x for something actually good that will last.
Yes, it is closer to $17k USD for an actual custom chair that will meet individual needs (which can't be bought on amazon) instead of a one size fits most kind of thing.
The customization is actually incredibly important for quality of life reasons, because it isn't just physical measurements, but also things like proper weight distribution tunes to how the person sits in and uses the chair. Sure, you can get a chair for $600, but there is a non zero chance that the throttle will be touchy and the balance will be off, sending you backwards onto the floor every time you move.
