Question 1

“Can I actually run on this treadmill, or is it just for walking?”**

Accepted Answer

Thanks for asking! At CITYSPORTS, the 14% incline Walking Pad is designed primarily for walking and light jogging. The top speed is 6 KM/H (about 3.7 MPH), which is brisk walking pace. Many TikTok users have shared that it’s perfect for pacing while answering emails, but not for a full running workout. If you’re looking to run, treadmills with higher speed ranges (10+ KM/H) would be a better fit.

Question 2

“Does the 14% incline let me adjust the angle, or is it fixed?”**

Accepted Answer

Great question — this is something we hear often! The 14% incline on this model is a fixed pre-set angle, not adjustable mid-use. It’s optimized to engage your glutes and calves while keeping the deck stable under a desk. Some Reddit users noted they expected a variable incline, so we now clearly specify this in the product description. If you need multiple incline levels, consider our adjustable options elsewhere.

Question 3

“I work from home — how loud is it really during a meeting?”**

Accepted Answer

“Quiet” is relative, and we appreciate you checking. Users report the motor is noticeable at higher speeds (around 5-6 KM/H), especially if you’re on a hard floor. On a standard carpet, it’s quieter but still audible in a quiet room. Many YouTube testers suggest using it during background-noise-inclusive calls or with a desktop fan for ambient sound. For silent reading rooms, a fully manual walking pad might suit better.

Question 4

“What’s the return policy if it doesn’t work under my desk?”**

Accepted Answer

We offer a 30-day return window from delivery for a full refund, no questions asked. That said, check your desk’s leg clearance first — most standard desks (28-30 inches high) fit the 5.2-inch deck. The LED indicator bar is 1.5 inches tall, so total height is about 6.7 inches. If your desk is lower or has center bars, measure twice to avoid disappointment. Out-of-box returns are free within the first 14 days.

Question 5

“I walk 4-5 miles a day — will this handle that?”**

Accepted Answer

For daily moderate use (1-2 hours total), the CITYSPORTS Walking Pad holds up well. Several buyers in our reviews use it for about 45-60 minutes during work and report no issues. However, if you’re walking over 3 hours daily, we’d recommend looking at models with a continuous-duty motor (ours is peak-rated for 2 HP). A few Reddit members noted the motor can overheat on marathon sessions, so we suggest taking 15-minute breaks every hour to extend lifespans.
