Verdict

Pros & cons

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

Das Sportstech sPad500 ist ein flaches Walking Pad fürs Homeoffice, das Steigung per Fernbedienung beim Gehen verstellt – in dieser Bauform selten. Bis 6 km/h läuft es ruhig und stabil, und nach Feierabend schiebst du es unter das Sofa. Aus unserer Sicht passt es gut zu mittelgroßen Menschen, die gehen statt joggen. Der Haken: kein Not-Aus oder Sicherheitsclip, außerdem wird die Lauffläche für Große knapp.

Pros

  • Elektrische Steigung per Fernbedienung, ohne vom Band zu steigen
  • Ruhiger Lauf und stabiler Rahmen bis 6 km/h
  • Nur 15,8 cm flach, mit Transportrollen leicht verstaubar
  • Tempo in feinen 0,1-km/h-Schritten regelbar
  • Fertig montiert geliefert, ohne Aufbau sofort einsatzbereit
  • Motor blieb in Tests auch bei langen Einheiten kühl

Cons

  • Keine Sicherheitsabschaltung, weder Clip noch Reißleine
  • Lauffläche von 100 x 40 cm für Menschen über 185 cm knapp
  • Echte Steigung liegt unter den beworbenen Werten
  • Nur Hersteller-App, kein Kinomap oder Zwift; Programme ohne Steigung
