If you’re looking for an affordable and stylish walking pad, the TWHEELS WalkingPad 6 km/h is the perfect solution. With an overall rating of 1.3, it offers the same high-quality features as its “big brother” (the 10 km/h model), but is designed for slower speeds.
Since no handlebar is needed at 6 km/h, the WalkingPad can be placed perfectly under a standing desk, making it a reliable companion during work or meetings.
Ideal for working from home, it can be stored to save space and creates a quiet atmosphere thanks to its cushioned running surface—even while you work. The Kinomap training app is included here too.

3 things you should definitely consider before buying a treadmill / walking pad…
1. Noise level: Silence is golden
No one wants to turn their living room into a gym that feels like an airport terminal. A good treadmill should be quiet—not just for you, but for your neighbors too.
- TWHEELS stands for genuine Swiss quality, with a solid oak wood casing. It not only looks elegant and fits perfectly into any living room, but is also exceptionally robust.
- Many other treadmills look like… well, treadmills. No one wants to turn their beloved home into a functional, cold gym full of iron and steel.
2. High-quality materials: Solid wood instead of aluminum
A treadmill should not only function well; when placed in the living room, it should also look good.
- TWHEELS stands for genuine Swiss quality, with a solid oak wood casing. It not only looks elegant and fits perfectly into any living room, but is also exceptionally robust.
- Many other treadmills look like… well, treadmills. No one wants to turn their beloved home into a functional, cold gym full of iron and steel.
3. Local Expertise: Designed in Switzerland
Why should you buy your treadmill from an international provider when there is a Swiss company that combines quality, innovation, and customer proximity?
- TWHEELS is a Swiss company that sets the highest standards in product development while also offering you excellent service—including the free Kinomap training app.
- Other providers are often based abroad, which means not only longer delivery times but also less local support and service. In addition, the import surcharge for Switzerland is always already included in the price—which means you’re not paying for quality, but for logistics.
Quality pays off
If you’re looking for a treadmill that is quiet, expertly crafted, space-saving, and sustainable, TWHEELS is the clear choice. It is the only company that meets all quality criteria while also giving you the confidence of investing in a product “Designed in Switzerland.”
Why settle for compromises when you can give yourself and your health the best?
Thoughtful. Beautiful. Sustainable.
TWHEELS, keep moving forward.
