The G5i is KingSmith’s first treadmill to combine incline training with a folding running deck—bringing powerful workouts and space-saving design together like never before.

July 2026 — KingSmith, creator of the globally recognized WalkingPad brand, is set to launch the new G5i foldable incline treadmill on August 4, 2026. Built for users who want challenging incline workouts and full-size treadmill performance without sacrificing valuable living space, the G5i is a folding treadmill with incline that combines more efficient training with innovative folding technology—helping users get more from every workout while saving space at home.

Traditional incline treadmills can be difficult to fit into modern homes because of their large, fixed frames. The G5i foldable incline treadmill is here to change that. Its innovative folding structure allows it to fold flat under a bed or stand vertically against a wall, bringing powerful incline training to apartments, condos, home offices, and any living space where every square foot counts.

18% Powered Incline Meets an Innovative Folding Deck

The G5i foldable treadmill with incline brings together two capabilities rarely found in one home treadmill: a folding running deck and powered incline training. With an 18% powered incline and 25 adjustable levels, the G5i helps increase workout intensity, engage lower-body muscles, and support higher-calorie-burning walks and runs compared with flat walking. With speeds ranging from 1 to 10 mph, the G5i supports everything from comfortable walking and challenging incline workouts to jogging and running.

Full-Size Performance That Folds Away

Despite its compact folding structure, the G5i delivers the performance expected from a full-size treadmill. Its 4.5 HP brushless motor provides smooth, consistent power, while the reinforced frame supports users up to 300 lb. The spacious 51.2 × 19.7-inch running area offers a comfortable, natural stride, and the SoftStep Incline™ cushioning system helps absorb impact during walking, jogging, and running.

When the workout is over, the G5i folds into a compact 45.7 × 33.4 × 10.2-inch footprint for flat or upright storage. Built-in transport wheels and a handle make repositioning the treadmill simple.

Smarter Workouts with SpeedDial™

The G5i introduces SpeedDial™ control, combining intuitive dial operation with a dynamic interactive display for a smarter workout experience. Users can make quick adjustments during training, with precise 0.1 mph speed changes through slow turns and faster speed or incline adjustments through quick turns.

The integrated display provides real-time workout data, including speed, incline, distance, time, calories, and steps. Through the KS Fit app, users can access personalized training plans, track progress, and review workout performance.

Ready Right Out of the Box

The G5i arrives fully assembled, saving users the time and effort often required to set up a conventional home treadmill. Users can simply unbox it, unfold it, and begin their workout.

Designed for everyday convenience, the G5i features a foot-activated folding mechanism that enables quick one-step folding and unfolding. This intuitive design makes it easier to transition between workouts and storage.

Designed for Modern Lifestyles

The G5i is a compact treadmill with incline designed for a wide range of home fitness users, including people living in apartments or other compact homes, individuals seeking higher-intensity incline workouts, busy professionals fitting exercise into short breaks, families sharing one treadmill, and anyone who wants powerful workouts without sacrificing valuable living space.

“The G5i was created to eliminate the trade-off between serious incline training and space-saving storage,” said Albert Jing, CEO of KingSmith. “By combining powerful incline training with an innovative folding running deck, we are giving users full-size treadmill performance while saving valuable space at home.”
