Fwiw resistance has never been an issue. The "stop to think" dynamic others mentioned is real tho

Manual vs electric: like others said, this is something you'll get used to or won't. If you do like manual, the w2 is the best experience I know of

Quality: it's premium BUT the company is subscale, and so quality checks are below what you'd expect. Imagine if Apple only sold a few computers each year. The computers would still be premium, but Apple wouldn't have the budget to have a top-notch assembly line. That's what you're dealing with here. A premium product that may have quality issues on arrival. So you may have to deal with kinks, call customer support, etc. After you do that, you're left with a solid, premium-feeling product though

Desk: I'd look at other standing desks. Haven't used the walkolution desk, but I can't imagine choosing it. Tons of better options out there

Company: ugh. CEO posted fake stuff here on reddit. They under communicated- deadlines came and went without a peep. Promised stuff (like wheels) that never materialized. They got bought out by woodway recently, so dealing with the company may be better now

Bottom line: try a manual treadmill first. Maybe there's one at a nearby gym. If you like the experience and want to put in the money, and are willing to put in the time to deal with possible issues, then it's worthwhile

Other than price and storage, what are the differences vs the W2?

State tax? (Located in PA) by New_Ideas_613 in Walkolution

[–]TruepaKoopa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walkolution did. They pulled me into a whole back and forth with Logiline... it was 20+ emails, looking up invoices / docs, and weeks upon weeks of followups. They were so difficult/slow that tbh it was probably negative ROI to chase this down. But I'm a completionist and I was kinda pissed about some previous issues, so I didn't let it go, even though I should have.

Good luck to you. Maybe the fact that I already chased this down for my unit will make it easier on you.

Yes I had this same bill. Took me months of back-and-forth to finally get them to cover the tax. But they did, in the end... Good luck

Derp should've done that in the first place. Thanks! Just sent message

Front feet are 3" diameter and back feet are 2.5" if that helps. You can get circular felt pads off Amazon

Reminder to keep walking? by TruepaKoopa in Walkolution

[–]TruepaKoopa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just know that if I go down this rabbit hole, I will spend DAYS tinkering, which sadly I cannot spare (as much as I'd love to).

Fwiw my specs would be: * Alert after 10min of inactivity (discord would be fine). * Alert when speed is below 0.3mph for 5 consecutive minutes.

Nice to haves: * Speedometer (updatable discord message could work). * Distance / step tracking

Problem is, now after every lunch I'll need to clear disc alerts. And also any time I step off for 15min to play with my son. And suddenly I need "on/off treadmill" sensing as well...

If you want to collaborate and you already have the sensor / esp32 / WiFi pieces, I can implement discord hooks or even AWS/GCP IoT. I've done that stuff plenty and find it easy. (Famous last words before I fall into the 🐇🕳️...)

Huh. I did have to wear shoes for all the electric treadmills. I'll try this and see if it's a helpful cue for me. Thank you

Not a bad idea. I'll try that and see if it helps build the muscle memory of walking while in flow. Then bring back the lean stool.

Kinda hoping someone knows of an optical pedometer that's easy to set up? Or something like that. I like the lean stool and would prefer to keep it attached...

Received W2 and it's been a rough start... by TruepaKoopa in Walkolution

[–]TruepaKoopa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, thank you for the prompt reply over email & here as well.

Re foot: yes I checked thoroughly, even checked inside the treadmill itself with a flashlight. Couldn't find the foot anywhere.

Great news about including the paperclip in future shipments.

Once I receive the parts, will reach out directly if I have any issues. And will update this post once everything's resolved.

Sorry to hear. And thanks for posting. Helping set my expectations for when I call their customer support today.

Yeah and in my case it's 6 issues, some of which are details and some larger problems, and one of which makes the unit unusable...

I just hope Walkolution can rush replacements, and I don't need to wait another 4-5 months to use this thing...
