r/WalkingPads

My neighbor gave away their walking pad for free to whoever could fix it, so I thought I’d take a stab at it having never done it before, but willing to try.

When I plug in it turns on and I get an E02 error. Took off the hood and it was free of hair/debris and everything was plugged in.

The motor belt felt a little tight and so does the band.

However I also noticed some yellow stuff on the motherboard and I’m wondering if that should be there.

I have minimal experience in electronics, but willing to learn with this project.

The big question, is it salvageable? Would it be cheaper to replace the motor than to get a new one or do I run the risk of it still not working? Open to any and all thoughts.

Will post pictures in a comment.

Thanks!

I just bought a walking pad and the best place for me to use it in my home unfortunately would be on the carpet! It's a softer carpet and I am trying to find a mat that I could put underneath the walking pad but am worried it won't be durable enough for type of carpet I have. For anyone that has done this, any tips?

Hello, we just got this, and I am looking for the KS Fit iOS app to communicate with this…aaaand, it does not seem to exist (🤦🏻‍♂️).

What app(s) are you folks using with yours?

The KS Fit app shows my walks, but actually browsing my own stats in it is surprisingly painful. There's no PC or web view at all — you're stuck on your phone. The workout history is slow to scroll. And if I want to check something like "how many steps did I do last Wednesday", it takes way more taps than it should.

So I made a small open-source web dashboard for it. You open it in any browser, log in once with your normal KS Fit email + password, and it shows you everything on one screen.

A few things I want to be upfront about, because I'd want to know this if someone else posted it:

• It doesn't save your data anywhere. There's no backend, no database, no cloud account to sign up for. The page just calls the same KS Fit API the official app already uses, and renders the response. Refresh and it re-fetches live.
• It's read-only. It can't change, delete, or write anything on your account.
• Your credentials only go where they already go — to KS Fit's own server, same as the official app.
• Runs locally on your own machine (npm run dev or docker compose up).

What it shows:

• every session you've ever logged (distance, steps, calories, time, heart rate, device)
• a per-session speed/cadence graph if you've ever wondered what your pace actually looked like minute by minute
• calendar/heatmap view so you can scan a whole month at a glance
• weight log with BMI history
• your devices and any subscribed training plans

There's also a demo mode (KSFIT_DEMO=1 npm run dev) that renders the whole UI from a synthetic dataset, so you can look around without logging in.

Fair warning: the KS Fit API isn't publicly documented, so they could change it tomorrow and this would break. Not affiliated with Kingsmith in any way. If something useful is missing, the code's right there — happy to extend it.

What is the best walking pad for office that is quiet? As I will be on phone calls all day

TLDR: DO NOT BUY Zipro products (their walking pad electrocuted me several times on the rail) or anything of considerable ​value from Decathlon. ​Leaving this here because there wasn't much info online ​on Zipro when we bought it.

We bought one at a premium price from Decathlon and it was faulty from the beginning. The rail was shocking us! Not only that but also kept turning itself on and changing speed by itself ​constantly. It was a nightmare to use.

We s​ent it back for a refund, wasn't even given the option for a refund ​so they said they fixed it and sent back. Nope, still shocking us on the rail and now they broke the plastic housing for electronics in transit so it's even less safe. The rest of the issues weren't fully fixed either. Sent it back using the packaging they used because I don't enjoy electrocution while walking and naturally it got more damaged on the way. So they are not refunding it either.

Decathlon support is also useless so far. They work with these extremely rude and unreliable couriers that leave the packages at the building front door​. Totally unprofessional and extremely unreliable.
