This looks like a very cool project and I'm happy to see it.

But please, to the author: give us some real price comparisons! I don't know how much a wheelchair costs. After reading this article, I still don't. Just be crystal clear and say "a simple manual wheelchair, approved by insurance, is often $4k, with $1k paid out of pocket" or whatever.



You're in the right ballpark, though a good chair can easily get you into the 5 figures. Top-end is perhaps $20k.


From their front page : "For more than three decades, New Mobility has published groundbreaking content for active wheelchair users."

Fair from them to assume the (average) reader is familiar with the subject.
