KingSmith WalkingPad Founded in 2015, King Smith WalkingPad is an intelligent fitness software & hardware enterprise integrating research and development, production and sales.
From a member of the founding team: It’s going to be my dopamine maker. A few years ago, my team members and I were postgraduates and doctoral students at the University of Science and Technology of China. Our devoted efforts for the cutting- edge scientific research in robotics won us the runner-up and champion of the RoboCupin 2013 and 2014 respectively.
Under great pressure of scientific research, my formerly abundant energy and strong body were almost exhausted. My doctor advised me to do more exercise, but I didn’t even have time to walk in the playground. I knew I must deliver myself out of this terrible state of stillness and inactivity. I wanted an exercise equipment that is not limited by space, accessible anytime and anywhere, easy and pleasant, and allows me to exercise while standing up.
Such a product was not available in the market, so we decided to product such a product which was light and thin, enabling us to exercise in any situation at any time, and which can be folded up and put under a narrow corner after exercise, such as below a sofa or desk. And that was the prototype of the walking machine we see now.
When the prototype of the WalkingPad came out, we had a lot of enthusiastic support from our friends. In the future, we will take “help more people fall in love with sports and healthy life” as our mission.
It is our hope that everyone has a WalkingPad in a small space or beside a lonely desk, which can help you to get through the hard time, get rid of the bother of reality for a while, and remind you to pursue health and harbor hope.
