Buy a UREVO unless you need the pad to fold in half or you are tall. For about $270, the UREVO SpaceWalk 5L has a 9% motorized incline, a brushless motor, and a 400-pound rating. The KingSmith WalkingPad Z1 costs about $300 and has none of those. What it has instead is a deck that folds in half to about 32 inches long and a 47.6-inch belt, the longest of any under-desk pad we cover.

Better value
UREVO SpaceWalk 5L
A 6.1-inch walking pad with a brushless motor, 9% auto incline, and 400 lb rating for about $270.
Best for small spaces and tall walkers
KingSmith WalkingPad Z1
A fold-in-half walking pad with a 47.6-inch belt, a 4 mph top speed, and a 4.1-inch profile for about $300.
Where WalkingPad Wins
- Storage. Every WalkingPad in the lineup folds in half at a hinge in the deck, to about 32 inches long. No UREVO pad folds its deck, so each needs 42 to 52 inches of floor or wall.
- Belt length. The Z1’s belt is 47.6 inches and the A1 Pro’s is 47 inches. UREVO’s longest under-desk belt is the CyberPad for Home’s 43.3 inches. If you are over 6’2”, that difference matters. See walking pads for tall people.
- Height. The Z1 is 4.1 inches tall, about 2 inches lower than UREVO’s incline pads, so it needs less extra desk height.
- Apple Watch support. KingSmith’s KS Fit app has an Apple Watch app and syncs with Apple Health.
Where UREVO Wins
- Incline. No WalkingPad in this lineup has an incline. UREVO offers 9% on the SpaceWalk 3S and 5L and 14% on the CyberPads.
- Weight rating. The Z1 is rated for 242 pounds and the C2 and P1 for 220. UREVO’s SpaceWalk 5L and CyberPad for Office are rated for 400 on UREVO’s site.
- Price. UREVO’s flat SpaceWalk E1L costs about $135. The cheapest WalkingPad costs about $300.
- Motor. The SpaceWalk 5L and CyberPads use brushless motors.
- Warranty. UREVO adds 180 days to its one-year warranty when you register in its app.

WalkingPad vs. UREVO FAQ
Is WalkingPad or UREVO better?
UREVO is better for most people because its pads add incline and higher weight ratings for less money. WalkingPad is better if you need a pad that folds in half or a belt longer than 43 inches.
Is the KingSmith WalkingPad worth it?
Yes, if storage space is your main problem or you are tall. The Z1 folds to about 32 inches long and has a 47.6-inch belt. If you have room to store a pad flat, a UREVO gives you more for the money.
Do UREVO walking pads fold?
Not in half. UREVO’s 2-in-1 models fold their handrails down, and its pads slide under furniture or stand against a wall, but the deck stays full length.
Which has the better warranty?
UREVO, slightly. Both give one year, and UREVO adds 180 days when you register the pad in its app.
Which is better for tall people?
WalkingPad. The Z1 and A1 Pro have 47-inch belts. UREVO’s longest under-desk belt is 43.3 inches, on the CyberPad for Home.
