Forums >Gears and Wears>Moterized treadmilss for under 250 pounds (approx 320 dollars?)
Hey I have only seen the rebock (bottom model) being sold which can manage 14 kmph, which is more than enough speed for the moment, and if your were to add incline would be enough speed for quite a while. How good are this treadmills other features such as programs, does it do pulse and if so does it do it well? Are there any other treads out there for a bargin from reputable companies, I would prefer not to pay extortionate shipping either unless it was a great treadmil for under 200.

To a certain extent, you get what you pay for. I cannot imagine you will find a decent machine anywhere in that price range.

$200 treadmills won't last long if used for running.
It's not $200, it's 250 pounds which is 113 kg, approximately, which equates to about 100-200g or protein per day.
There's no doubt in my mind that I could break it with one run if I tried.
200 uk pounds not lbs. which is about 320 dollars. Guess no one knows the exchange rate.
lbs = US imperical pounds (weight)

Tom's point remains the same... a 320 USD treadmill is a low quality treadmill that will not stand up long to day-to-day use. AND... it won't hold calibration well even while it does work... you seem to be very "into" numbers, which is a fine thing I guess, but this means your head might explode when you realize that the numbers are all rubbish. When it breaks, it'll be hard to fix.
Plus, if you've ever run on a cheap treadmill, you might have noticed that they don't feel right.
I dont know some people seem to get many enjoyment from very much cheaper non motorized treadmills if amazon is anything to go by.
It isn't.
