[Merach](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-fitness-solution) has launched the [UltraWalk W60 Plus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/merach), a walking pad designed to support users up to 400 pounds while providing a 12% automatic incline and a speed range of 0.6 to four miles per hour. The innovation is powered by a brushless motor that keeps operating noise below 53.6 decibels for quiet use in shared living spaces.

Merach's UltraWalk W60 Plus walking pad features a 16-by-41-inch running belt, built-in Bluetooth speakers, sound-sensing RGB lighting that changes with step frequency or music rhythm, and compatibility with Apple Health and [Google](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wyze-scale-bodyscan) Fit for tracking calories, time, distance, and step count. No assembly is required for this product.

Robert Luo, CEO of Merach, maintains: "We are eliminating the compromise between professional quality and affordability. For too long, the walking pad market has been saturated with low-quality equipment that breaks down quickly or lacks the stability required for a safe workout. With the UltraWalk W60 Plus, we've brought reliable experience of outdoor climbing and jogging into the home."
