Verdict

Pros & cons

Das FlexiSpot PortaGo ist ein reines Geh-Pad bis 6 km/h für den Stehschreibtisch, das sich in der Mitte zusammenklappen lässt und dann unter Sofa oder Bett passt. Der bürstenlose Motor läuft leise und kühl, das Band liegt bei jedem Tempo ruhig. Der Haken: Nach 100 min braucht es eine Pause, das Tempo lässt sich nur in 0,5-km/h-Schritten einstellen, und eine App gibt es nicht.

Pros

  • Klappt in der Mitte, gefaltet nur rund 0,3 m² Stellfläche
  • Bürstenloser Motor bleibt leise, im Videocall nicht zu hören
  • Hält das Tempo bis 6 km/h ruhig, auch mit 90 kg
  • Steht auf Teppich stabil, Monitor wackelt bei 3 km/h kaum
  • Sensor stoppt das Band etwa 10 s nach dem Absteigen
  • 2 Jahre Garantie, wo viele kompakte Pads nur 1 Jahr haben

Cons

  • Nach 100 min Dauerbetrieb rund 20 min Abkühlpause nötig
  • Tempo nur in 0,5-km/h-Schritten, keine App und kein Bluetooth
  • Übergang am Klappgelenk drückt barfuß oder in Socken spürbar
  • Lauffläche 100 x 41 cm wird ab etwa 1,80 m bei höherem Tempo knapp
  • Trittschall überträgt sich ohne Unterlegmatte in die Wohnung darunter

Das Merach T25 W50 ist ein reines Walking Pad mit elektrischer Steigung bis 12 % und einer Tragkraft von bis zu 180 kg. Damit passt es zu Gehern im Homeoffice und zu schweren Menschen, die bergauf trainieren wollen. Der bürstenlose Motor darf laut Hersteller 600 min am Stück laufen. Die Haken: kein Joggen, knapp ab 1,90 m, außerdem 31 kg Gewicht und ein schwer erreichbarer Support.

Pros

  • Belastbar bis 180 kg, Deck bleibt auch unter schweren Schritten ruhig
  • Elektrische Steigung bis 12 %, während des Gehens verstellbar
  • Bürstenloser Motor, laut Hersteller bis 600 min Dauerbetrieb
  • Kinomap passt die Steigung automatisch an die Videostrecke an
  • Tempo in 0,1-km/h-Schritten ab 1 km/h fein regelbar
  • Vollständig montiert geliefert, weiches Laufgefühl durch Silikonpuffer

Cons

  • Kein Joggen, Höchsttempo laut Tests nur 6 bis 6,5 km/h
  • Lauffläche für Menschen ab etwa 1,90 m knapp
  • 31 kg schwer, nicht klappbar und nur flach zu lagern
  • Fernbedienung fällt leicht aus der Magnethalterung
