Born From a Personal Need
Our story began not in a boardroom, but in a university robotics lab. As postgraduate students at the University of Science and Technology of China, our team was dedicated to cutting-edge research—an effort that earned us championships at the global RoboCup in 2013 and 2014.
But this success came at a cost. The long hours and immense pressure took a toll on my health. My doctor's advice was simple: "get more exercise." The problem? I had no time for the gym, or even a walk outside. I was stuck in a state of inactivity, and I knew I had to find a solution.
I needed a piece of fitness equipment that could fit into my life—not the other way around. Something accessible anytime, easy to use, and so compact it could disappear after a workout.
Such a product didn't exist. So, using our background in robotics and engineering, we decided to invent it. That idea became the prototype for the very first WalkingPad.
It Started With a Question...
In today's world, our ambitions are bigger than ever, but our living spaces are getting smaller. We're working harder, but sitting longer. We knew there had to be a smarter way to integrate health and movement into our busy, modern lives without compromising on space or style.
The answer wasn't a smaller treadmill. It was a new idea entirely.
We didn't just shrink existing equipment; we invented a new category.
It all began in 2015, when our parent company, Kingsmith, was founded with a simple question: how could we solve the 'last kilometer' of home fitness? Our engineers at Kingsmith pioneered the original, ultra-slim, foldable walking pad, creating a solution that could truly disappear into the modern home.
