# Compact Foldable Treadmills KINGSMITH Launched the 'Walkingpad' for Work from Home Employees By Colin Smith | Published 2022-10-19 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walkingpad-1 References: [amazon](https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08TQTP716?keywords=walking+pad&geniuslink=true&tag=trenhunt0f-20)  KINGSMITH launched a new compact foldable treadmill titled the '[Walkingpad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/double-folding-treadmill).' This treadmill retails for $450 USD and is available directly from KINGSMITH, as well as through third-party retailers such as [Amazon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eb-5-swagcycle) and [Walmart](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gotrax-z4-pro). The treadmill is 57 x 21.5 inches in size, which shrinks down to 32 x 21.5 when folded. Despite its small size, the treadmill boasts a maximum walking speed of six kilometers per hour, and a maximum recommended payload of 500lbs, meaning it can support up to two adults. The Walkingpad weighs only 66 pounds, making it easy to carry to a car or easy to store in a closet when not in use. This treadmill runs via a wall outlet, and its controller requires two AAA batteries, which is significant given its size and build quality.
