UREVO vs WalkingPad: Incline Pads or Fold-in-Half Pads?

The short answer

UREVO and WalkingPad make the same kind of product, a low, slow treadmill for walking under a desk, but they solve different problems. UREVO's walking pads mostly stay flat on the floor and add a motorized incline: 9% on the SpaceWalk 3S and up to 14% on the CyberPad. WalkingPad, the walking pad line from KingSmith, is known for pads that fold in half across the middle, so a 56 in long pad shrinks to about 32 in and can stand in a closet. None of the WalkingPad models we cover has an incline.

So the first question is simple: do you need incline, or do you need to put the pad away? If incline, UREVO. If folding, WalkingPad. After that, the details matter: WalkingPad belts are longer (about 47 in against 39 to 43 in on UREVO pads), UREVO pads are usually cheaper, and both brands have weight-limit figures that differ between sources. For the wider field, see our best walking pads guide, and for each brand's full range, our UREVO round-up and KingSmith WalkingPad round-up.

The two ranges

UREVO

UREVO sells in the US, Canada, the UK, Germany and Europe, and its US site groups its products into three families. The walking pads are the CyberPad (Home and Office versions), SpaceWalk 5L, SpaceWalk 3S and SpaceWalk E1L. The foldable treadmills are the CyberMega, FoldiMix 5L and Foldi 3S. The 2-in-1 pads with a handle for light jogging are the Strol 2S Pro, Strol 2E Pro and Strol 2E. UREVO's pitch is features for the money: motorized incline on the 3S, 5L and CyberPad, 12-point shock absorption on the 3S and 5L, and several models in the budget and mid-range tiers.

One model in our table needs a caution. The SpaceWalk E4W's page on urevo.com now shows the SpaceWalk E1L, and only a refurbished E4W page remains. The Amazon listing is still live, but that is a sign the E4W is being phased out.

WalkingPad (KingSmith)

KingSmith sells WalkingPad models through two brand sites, kingsmith.com and walkingpad.com, and the two do not always agree. The core range is fold-in-half pads: the C2, Z1, A1 Pro and P1. Alongside them sit the Z1R, which has a removable handrail and reaches 5 mph, and the R1 Pro, a folding 2-in-1 with a retractable handrail and a top speed of about 6.2 mph. WalkingPad pricing runs from mid-range to premium, higher on average than UREVO.

Stock is patchy. kingsmith.com lists the Z1 as sold out while walkingpad.com sells it, and walkingpad.com shows the 300 lb A1 Pro as unavailable. Check the listing before you decide on a specific model.

Folding vs incline

This is the real dividing line between the brands.

Folding (WalkingPad). The C2 is 57 in long unfolded and 32 x 20 x 5.5 in folded; the Z1 goes from 56.1 in to 31.8 in; the A1 Pro from 56.5 in to 32.5 in. Folded, a C2 covers about 4.4 square feet (32 x 20 in), against about 7.9 square feet for an unfolded SpaceWalk 3S (51.6 x 22.1 in). If the pad must disappear under a bed or into a closet every evening, that difference decides the purchase. Our foldable walking pad guide covers more options.

Incline (UREVO). The SpaceWalk 3S and 5L tilt 0 to 9% from the remote. The CyberPad lists 0 to 14%, although ocdevel reports that the Home version reaches 14% by adding a 5% manual kickstand to 9% of motorized lift. Incline adds effort without adding speed, which suits typing pace. At 2 mph for 30 minutes (1 mile, or 5,280 feet of belt), a 9% grade equals about 475 feet of climb. UREVO's pads do not fold; the CyberPad stores upright. Our walking pads with incline guide compares incline pads from other brands too.

If you need both, neither brand's walking pads offer a fold-in-half deck with a motorized incline, so you will need to decide which matters more.

Belt length and weight limits

WalkingPad's folding design produces long belts: 47.2 in on the C2, 47.6 in on the Z1 and 47 in on the A1 Pro. UREVO's are shorter: 42.5 in on the 3S, 43.3 in on the CyberPad, 39.4 in on the 5L and about 40 to 42 in on the E4W (sources differ). At desk speeds most adults take steps of 20 to 28 in, so a tall walker with a 28 in step has about 19 in of spare room on a WalkingPad belt and about 14 in on a SpaceWalk 3S. Both work; the WalkingPad is more forgiving.

Weight limits are where both brands need care:

• WalkingPad: C2 220 lb, Z1 242 lb (243 lb on kingsmith.com), A1 Pro 300 lb on the 300 lb version, but a 230 lb version is also sold under the same name.
• UREVO: 3S and E4W 265 lb. CyberPad 350 lb on urevo.com, but ocdevel reports 264 lb in the manual. SpaceWalk 5L 400 lb on urevo.com, 320 lb on Amazon and 300 lb in the manual, per ocdevel.

Our rule is to plan around the lowest published figure and keep a 30 to 50 lb margin. On that basis, a 250 lb walker is best served by the A1 Pro 300 lb version or the SpaceWalk 5L (planning on 300 lb). See our weight limit guide for why the margin matters.

Motors

Neither brand publishes continuous horsepower on most models, so direct comparisons are rough.

• UREVO lists 2.5 HP on the 3S, CyberPad and 5L (brushless on the CyberPad and 5L) and Live Science reports 2.25 HP for the E4W. ocdevel lists the 5L at 0.99 HP continuous, which shows how far a headline figure can sit from continuous output. ocdevel also reports that the Strol 2S Pro uses a brushed 0.88 HP motor, not the brushless motor its Amazon listing implies.
• WalkingPad lists a 1 HP brushless motor on the C2 and a 3.75 HP brushless motor on the A1 Pro. The Z1 shows how messy this gets: kingsmith.com says 0.75 HP, walkingpad.com says 2.25 HP and a UK retailer says 1.25 HP. The P1 is brushed, with a 746 W input rating.

Our reading: a brushless motor is a better sign than a big horsepower number, and both brands list brushless motors on several current pads. Both brands' pads top out at walking speeds (3.7 to 4.0 mph), so motor size matters less than it would on a running treadmill.

Apps and controls

UREVO uses its own UREVO app, called SmartCoach on some product pages and Wellness Hub on the 5L page. Live Science reports the E4W also works with Zwift and Kinomap. All three UREVO pads in our table come with a remote.

WalkingPad uses KingSmith's KS Fit app. KS Fit supports Apple Watch on the A1 Pro, Z1R and R1 Pro, and the Z1R pairs with Kinomap. WalkingPad's standout control is foot sensing (FootSense on the A1 Pro and P1): walk toward the front and the belt speeds up, drift back and it slows. Tom's Guide found the C2's app glitchy in its review, so do not buy a WalkingPad for the app alone.

If hands-free speed control while you type appeals to you, WalkingPad has the edge. If you want an app with guided programs and incline control, UREVO's app covers that.

Warranties and support

UREVO offers a 1-year warranty plus a 180-day extension, with 14-day returns and a 30-day price match on its own store. ocdevel reports that the full 18 months requires installing the app and binding your pad's serial number, so register early. Support is at +1 844-998-2473 (Monday to Sunday, 9 AM to 6 PM PST) and contact@urevo.com.

WalkingPad product pages on walkingpad.com list a 1-year warranty with an optional extension for the Z1, A1 Pro, P1 and Z1R, and the Z1R page lists 30-day returns. The kingsmith.com pages for the C2 and R1 Pro do not state a warranty length, so ask before you buy those models.

On paper UREVO's standard cover is 6 months longer; WalkingPad lets you pay to extend. Neither brand appears in a CPSC recall or warning for walking pads in our check, which is more than can be said for Sperax, the subject of an April 2026 CPSC warning.

Who should choose which

Choose UREVO if:

• You want motorized incline. The UREVO SpaceWalk 3S is the balanced pick: 0 to 9% incline, 42.5 in belt, 265 lb. Read our SpaceWalk 3S review.
• You want the steepest slope and weigh well under 264 lb: the CyberPad, covered in our CyberPad review.
• You are on a tight budget and the pad will stay under a desk. The E4W is light at 40.8 lb, but check it is still sold new.
• You want a handle for occasional light jogging at a low price: the Strol 2E reaches 6.2 mph with the handle up.

Choose WalkingPad if:

• You must fold the pad away. The WalkingPad C2 folds to about 32 in and has a 47.2 in belt; see our C2 review.
• You want the slimmest deck: the Z1 is 4.1 in tall unfolded (Z1 review).
• You weigh 230 to 260 lb and still want to fold: the A1 Pro 300 lb version, if you can find it in stock (A1 Pro review).
• You are tall and walk at desk speeds, since WalkingPad belts are about 4 to 8 in longer.

Choose neither if you weigh over about 300 lb. The MERACH W50 is rated for 400 lb; see our walking pads for heavier people.

How we researched

We compared the brands' own product pages (urevo.com, kingsmith.com and walkingpad.com), UREVO's about and warranty information, Amazon listing titles, and independent coverage from Live Science, Garage Gym Reviews, Tom's Guide and ocdevel, which reports manual figures and teardowns. We also checked the CPSC recall database for both brands. We did not test these pads in person. Where a brand's own sites or documents disagree, we give each figure and plan around the lower one. We update this comparison when either brand changes its range. See how we research.
