KingSmith WalkingPad Launches 43-Pound Suitcase-Rolling WalkingCase Treadmill for November 10
In home fitness industrial design, Dallas-based KingSmith WalkingPad announced the U.S. release of WalkingCase, a foldable walking treadmill engineered over the past two years to roll from room to room like a piece of luggage. Founded in Beijing in 2015, KingSmith paired its fold-in-half frame and magnetic lock with a telescopic handle and four multidirectional casters. Weighing 43 pounds and folding down to 29.1 by 20.7 by 5.5 inches thick, the unit can stand upright against a wall to save up to 90% of floor space or fit inside a car trunk.
Vice President of Product Nick Wang noted that WalkingCase arrives fully assembled in four colorways—Green, Black, White, and Pink—and features a 2.65 HP brushless motor reaching speeds of up to 4 mph for users weighing up to 242 pounds. Its 35.4 by 15.0 inch walking deck incorporates SoftStep cushioning and FootSense hands-free speed control, alongside a remote controller, LED display, and KS Fit app connectivity. WalkingCase goes on sale November 10, 2026 at a launch price of $479, down from its regular $799 retail price.
