Head-to-head

WalkingPad P1 vs Sperax 2-in-1

The P1 is the longer, wider deck: 47.2" x 17.3", folding in half, quiet, and speed-capped at 3.72 mph for walking only.

The Sperax trades four inches of deck length for a folding handrail, a 300 lb stated capacity and a top speed more than double the P1's.

FAQ

Which has the longer deck?
The P1, at 47.2 inches against 43.3 inches — and it is also 0.8 inches wider at 17.3 inches.
Can I jog on the P1?
No. It caps at 3.72 mph. If jogging matters, the Sperax is the only one of the two that reaches it.
Which is better for a small apartment?
The P1, because it folds in half. The Sperax keeps its full length even with the rail folded.
Does the Sperax rail fold completely flat?
It folds down onto the deck, which is enough for storage against a wall, but the frame still sits higher than a bare pad.
