Rise Higher. Fold Smaller. An 18% powered incline plus a folding design helps maximize workout time while saving living space
KingSmith WalkingPad G5i: Powerful incline training meets space-saving foldable design.
DALLAS, Aug. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — KingSmith, creator of the WalkingPad brand, has launched the G5i foldable treadmill with incline. The G5i combines an 18% powered incline with a running deck that folds for vertical or flat storage, offering a space-saving option for home workouts.
Traditional incline treadmills can be large, fixed structures that require a dedicated exercise area, making them difficult to fit into apartments, home offices, and multifunctional rooms. As a compact treadmill with incline, the G5i addresses this challenge with a folding design built for modern homes.
“With the G5i, we wanted to remove the compromise between challenging incline training and space-saving design,” said Albert Jing, CEO of KingSmith. “It gives users the freedom to make the most of their workout time with calorie-burning incline walks and runs, then fold the treadmill away when they’re done.”
Save Time with More Powerful Incline Workouts
With an 18% powered incline and 25 adjustable levels, the G5i increases workout intensity through uphill walking and running. A study available through the National Library of Medicine found that walking at steeper inclines requires greater metabolic energy, supporting incline walking as one way to increase energy expenditure without simply moving faster.
Save Space When the Workout Is Over
As a folding treadmill with incline, the G5i features a spacious running area and folds to just 10.2 inches thick. It can be stored flat or placed vertically against a wall, allowing users to reclaim living space when the workout is over.
Smarter Control and Greater Comfort
The integrated SpeedDial™ combines workout controls with a dynamic display, allowing users to adjust speed and incline without interrupting their stride. The SoftStep Incline™ cushioning system is designed to help reduce impact during incline walks and runs.
Ready When You Are
The G5i arrives fully assembled and uses a foot-operated unlocking mechanism for faster folding. Built-in wheels and a dedicated handle make it easier to move and store.
