One of the biggest barriers to buying a home treadmill is space. The best treadmills are not small, and finding room is tricky even if the machine folds down flat.

The Walking G5i treadmill doesn’t just fold down flat. It also folds in half, and ends up around the size of a large suitcase when it is in its folded position. It’s still heavy, but it’s much easier to maneuver and store when not in use than most treadmills.

Importantly, it’s also impressive when unfolded and actually in use. The top speed is low, especially given the high price, but the belt runs smoothly and the max incline setting is very high, so you can increase the intensity on your walks and runs.

It’s still a little underspecced for its price in my view, but the fully foldable design might make it worth the outlay for those short on space. If you have room, however, a treadmill like the Urevo CyberMega offers a higher top speed at a lower price.

The WalkingPad G5i treadmill costs $1,899 in the U.S. and £1,899 in the U.K., though it’s currently reduced to £1,599 in the latter and I’d expect fairly regular sales on the machine.

It’s an expensive machine, especially as for that kind of money you’d normally be looking at a gym-standard treadmill with a higher top speed and a larger design with a bigger running belt.
