CITYSPORTS Walking Pad Treadmill

What are the exact dimensions and will it fit under my desk?

The CITYSPORTS Walking Pad Treadmill measures 115.5cm deep by 52cm wide and stands just 11.3cm tall. That low profile is the whole point of an under-desk design. Most standard desks have a clearance of around 65-75cm so this unit slides underneath with room to spare. The running surface itself is 40cm x 105cm which gives enough length for a natural walking stride. Weighing 16.5kg it's light enough to lift onto its side for storage. Two front wheels let you roll it under a sofa, bed or into a corner without straining your back.

What speed range does it offer and can I jog on it?

Speed runs from 1km/h up to 6km/h, powered by a 550W motor rated at 0.74HP. That's plenty for brisk walking and light jogging rather than running. One customer found 4.5km/h a comfortable fast-paced walk and 6km/h worked as a light jog. If you're after sprint training this isn't the machine for that. It's built for daily step counting, light cardio and staying active during desk work, not high-intensity running sessions.

How do I control the speed while I'm working?

You get a remote control in the box so you don't need to bend down to change settings. There's also Bluetooth app control which lets you adjust speed from your phone screen and even play music through the connected app. The onboard LCD display cycles through time, distance, speed and calories burned so you always know your stats at a glance. Several reviewers mention using the app as their main method of control instead of the physical remote.

What is the maximum user weight this treadmill supports?

The stated maximum weight recommendation is 120kg. The frame is made from alloy steel which gives it the rigidity needed to handle that load without excessive flex. If you're near or above this limit it's worth checking your own weight against it before buying, as exceeding the limit could affect belt performance and motor lifespan over time.

Does it need assembly when it arrives?

No. This is listed as installation-free with no assembly required. The package includes just a power cord and user manual. One reviewer noted it was "easily removed from the box, plugged in and away we go" within minutes of delivery. There's no toolkit needed and no bolting of parts together, which is a real time-saver compared to flat-pack treadmills that need two people and an hour of fiddling.

Is it quiet enough to use during video calls or while others are sleeping?

Noise reduction is built into the motor design and many users report it's quiet at lower speeds. However feedback is mixed once you push past the middle speed settings. One reviewer running it on the third floor said it could be heard downstairs. Another mentioned it was noisy enough to be conscious of waking sleeping children when used at higher speeds. If your home has thin floors or you're near a nursery, stick to lower speeds or test it during quieter settings first.

How reliable is it long term and what if something goes wrong?

Out of 104 reviews the overall score sits at 4.2 out of 5, with 64% giving five stars. That said, 11% gave just one star, often citing an E01 error code that stops the treadmill working, or the board beneath the running belt cracking after a few months of use. Returns are accepted within 30 days of receipt in original condition for a full refund. Customer support for large items is available seven days a week via phone or chat, though some reviewers reported slow response times when chasing faults after the return window closed.

Is this treadmill safe for children to use?

The manufacturer states it's not suitable for children under 14 years and should only be used under adult supervision. Even though it tops out at a modest 6km/h, moving parts and belt friction still pose a risk to younger children if left unattended. If you have kids at home keep the remote control out of reach and unplug the unit after use so it can't be switched on accidentally.
