Holy mother, I had no ideas they could be so expensive!
Out of curiosity (and unfortunately because I might need one myself before too long :(, I just had a quick Google here in the UK, and I can't find any more expensive than $3k. I'm not sure if you meant "normal" electric-powered wheelchair, or something else?
- a-wu 6y agoYeah I use a rehab chair. It’s specifically designed for the non-ambulatory whereas a lot of the cheaper wheelchairs are designed for the semi-ambulatory. My specific model is the Permobil F3 which another user found starts at £10k in the UK.
- GordonS 6y agoThanks, I'm totally ignorant of what is out there for mobility so figured I'd be looking at the wrong thing :)
