For those looking for an affordable and stylish WalkingPad, the TWHEELS WalkingPad 6 km/h offers the perfect solution. With an overall grade of 1.3, it provides the same high-quality features as the "big brother" (10 km/h model), but for slower speeds.
Since no handrail is needed at 6 km/h, the WalkingPad can be perfectly placed under the standing desk, making it a faithful companion during work or meetings.
Ideal for the home office, it can be stored space-savingly and provides a quiet atmosphere thanks to the cushioned running surface – even during work. The Kinomap training app is also included here.

3 things you should definitely consider before buying a treadmill / walking pad…
1. Noise level: Silence is golden
No one wants to turn the living room into a gym that reminds one of an airport terminal. A good treadmill must be quiet – not just for you, but also for your neighbors.
- TWHEELS relies on genuine Swiss quality with a solid wood (oak) casing. This not only looks elegant and fits perfectly into any living room, but is also extremely durable.
- Many other treadmills look like… well, treadmills. Nobody wants to turn their beloved home into a functional, cold fitness studio full of iron and steel.
2. High-quality materials: Solid wood instead of aluminum
A treadmill should not only work well, but also look good when placed in the living room.
- TWHEELS relies on genuine Swiss quality with a solid wood (oak) casing. This not only looks elegant and fits perfectly into any living room, but is also extremely durable.
- Many other treadmills look like… well, treadmills. Nobody wants to turn their beloved home into a functional, cold fitness studio full of iron and steel.
3. Local Expertise: Designed in Switzerland
Why should you get 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 providing you with excellent service – including the free Kinomap training app.
- Other providers often operate from abroad, which not only means longer delivery times but also less support and service on site. In addition, the surcharge for import into Switzerland has always been included – that means you are not paying for quality, but for logistics.
Quality pays off
If you are looking for a treadmill that is quiet, high-quality, space-saving, and sustainable, there is no way around TWHEELS. It is the only company that meets all quality criteria and at the same time gives you the confidence to invest in a product “Designed in Switzerland“.
Why make compromises when you can treat yourself and your health to the best?
