Most companies have a basic of the basic bikes in the 400-500 range but these are built with cheap parts that won’t last more than a season. A step up from that would be a 700-100$ bike that’s more likely to last. For daily wheelchair use don’t expect the 500$ level parts to be good enough.
- Tepix 2y agoYou're replying to someone who just stated they have such a bike and it has already lasted 12 years.

- Tepix 2y agoSo that's $400 instead of $300 then? Not sure if he means CAD or USD.
- averageRoyalty 2y agoI would assume the wheelchairs that prompted this are single speed also though, making it an apt comparison?
