The Walkingpad R2 folds up and can be hidden

When open the Walking pad R2 measures 145x72x103cm, but the real merit of this treadmill e its ability to be folded up and positioned vertically, taking up very little space 100x72x16cm allowing him to be hidden behind a door or curtain. With its 37kg it is certainly not a featherweight, but the wheels on the front and the handle allow you to transport it easily inside the house to have it available in a few minutes.

Il steel frame guarantees sufficient strength to support a maximum weight of 110kg. The rest of the machine is made of gray and black polycarbonate. They are exclusionary the two new side bases think of it as a support when going up / down the walkway surface, which are made of coated metal and have a design that provides good grip.

Also the support bar has been redesigned to be more robust but also more practical in closing and height adjustment thanks to both the new stops and the locking screws which are much more robust and precise than the Walking pad R1. We also find the support to support tablet and phone while running: in this version it is wider but the rubberized surface which allowed a more stable fixing is missing.

Even the front part has inherited a more "edgy" aspect but does not change in substance. Hosts the very comfortable LED display which shows us the information of our training session in real time: steps, calories, time, distance and speed. The parameters to be displayed can still be chosen through the app.

Among the novelties of this version, we also note a new carpet composed of 4 layers that guarantee maximum comfort for the feet, excellent grip and good noise reduction. Compared to the previous model, the walk is more comfortable, silent and the zip to fold it is imperceptible.

Suitable for walking and running indoors up to 10km / h

In the new Walking pad R2 we find the same excellent 1.3HP brushless motor which allows a speed from 0.5km / h to 10Km / h always without hopping or hesitation.

When the support bar is resting on the ground, the treadmill stays in "walk" mode which allows you to reach the maximum speed of 6 km / h. In this mode we can control the carpet both manually with the remote control supplied, and with the special automatic mode. In this mode the on-board computer automatically adjusts the speed based on your position: if you are at the back of the carpet, it will deduce that you are out of breath and will decrease your speed; if, on the other hand, you are in the front, he will deduce that the pace is too slow and will increase the speed. The sensitivity of this behavior is also adjustable via the app.

When we raise the support bar, we enter "run" mode is unlocks speed up to 10km / h. In this mode, for safety reasons, the cruise control is disabled and it will be possible to control the speed only with the remote control.

In any case it is always necessary to insert the security key to operate the walking pad. The key is equipped with a small cord that can be attached to clothes in such a way as to remove the key and stop operation in the event of a fall.

Manage the Walkingpad R2 with the Android app

In addition to the practical remote control, it is also possible to manage the treadmill via the android app that found in the playstore.

Through the app it is possible to configure some parameters useful for operation:

Through the app it is possible check and start your training sessions. The app will keep track of a complete, shareable and searchable history over time containing: time, calorie, average pace, average speed, steps and cadence. Unfortunately, as in previous models, the app must be started and connected to the walking pad otherwise the data acquired offline will not be synchronized with the app.

There are also gods training plans, in the short or long term, both for running and walking, which help to maintain a good consistency of training and pursue objectives calibrated to your possibilities

Through the app it is also possible to share and sync your progress with Google Fit.

Conclusions and Price

In the Walkingpad R2 we do not find a real evolution compared to the previous model, but rather a improvement of all those criticalities that had emerged in the Walkingpad R1. The support bar is finally sturdy and practical. The carpet is stable and quiet.

Overall the Walkingpad R2 remains a unique tool to train at good levels in the comfort of your home, even in a small one, thanks to its uniqueness of folding up and taking up very little space.
