CITYSPORTS WP9 folding walking pad review

Verdict
The CITYSPORTS WP9 is a folding walking pad that reaches 12 km/h and has a simple two-position incline (flat or 8%). Its 102 × 40 cm belt is a reasonable size and it is rated to 120 kg. It suits someone who wants to walk and jog without a handrail, but at 26.5 kg it is one of the heavier machines to move, and its listed folded size is clearly wrong.

From the CITYSPORTS listing on Amazon UK, checked 10 November 2026. Noise figures are manufacturer claims, not measurements.
Where the listing disagrees with itself:
- The folded size in the technical table (61 × 45.7 × 7.6 cm) is smaller than the 102 cm belt it would have to contain, so treat it as an error and plan for roughly half the 123 cm length.
CITYSPORTS is a British-facing brand with a wide range of walking pads on Amazon UK. The WP9 sits at the top of its folding range, with a faster top speed than most pads and a basic incline.
Who it suits
The WP9 suits people who want one compact machine for brisk walking and light jogging. Its 12 km/h top speed is the joint-highest here, alongside the Mobvoi SE. The 102 × 40 cm running area is stated clearly, and CITYSPORTS lists a six-layer belt with seven shock absorbers and six cushioned pads.
The two-position incline is simple: flat, or 8%. If you only want to vary your walk occasionally, a fixed second position is easier to live with than a fiddly multi-step adjustment.
It is low when flat at 10.2 cm, the lowest in this guide.
Who should skip it
Anyone who wants to run at 10–12 km/h should think carefully about the lack of a handrail. Many people are comfortable jogging on a flat pad, but a handle gives reassurance at speed. The Mobvoi SE offers the same 12 km/h with fold-up rails.
It is also heavy. At 26.5 kg, it is the second-heaviest pad in this guide after the WalkingPad P1. If it has to be folded and stored away every day, that weight will matter.
Users over 110 kg should look at a model rated higher than 120 kg.
What the specifications mean
1–12 km/h
The range covers everything from a slow desk walk to a jog. Faster speeds put more strain on a short belt, so 102 cm is a sensible length for this machine.
0% or 8% incline
The incline is manual, with two settings. 8% is about 4.6°, a noticeable but comfortable slope.
1,400 W motor
CITYSPORTS gives the motor as 1,400 W. That is a rated output, not what it uses during a walk. The running cost guide explains why actual draw is usually far lower.
The folded size problem
The technical details give the folded size as 61 × 45.7 × 7.6 cm. That cannot be right, because the belt alone is 102 cm long and the unfolded machine is 123 cm. If it folds in half, expect a folded length of roughly 62–65 cm and a height of about 20 cm, but check with the seller before relying on it.
Living with it
It arrives assembled and can be controlled from the panel buttons or a running app over Bluetooth. CITYSPORTS quotes noise of under 45 dB. The warranty is one year.

Alternatives on this site
Mobvoi Home Treadmill SE
A flat pad with handrails that fold up for running at up to 12 km/h. It is light for a 2-in-1 at 17.6 kg, but it needs some assembly and Mobvoi quotes up to 60 dB.
Lighter at 17.6 kg and adds fold-up handrails, but no incline and a higher quoted noise level.
Toputure Walking Pad (9–10% incline)
A flat pad with a 0%, 5% or 10% incline from fold-out feet, a 100 × 40 cm belt and a 10 km/h top speed. The listing mixes up its motor and incline figures, but the core numbers are in a useful range.
Flat design with 0, 5 or 10% incline, rated to 130 kg and listing a two-year warranty.
