Best curved treadmill of the year 2023 – we miss numerical & statistical data about this topic which are objectively measured

How to to this:

  1. connect the Raspberry Pi treadmill speed sensor to Home Assistant or Python:
  1. Make some measurement and publish the results as fellnr did:

Questions to answer:

  1. Does the treadmill show speed variations if we run or walk at a fixed speed?
  2. Does the treadmill show distance variations at a fixed speed?
  3. How reliable is the treadmill, does it run smoothly or does it show speed variations which cannot be controlled?
  4. Is the treadmill well built enough so that we can get data from it how fast we moved on it and how far and analyse it with a data analysis software?
  5. Is it eventually worth do add a treadmill motor by ourselves to better control it? Medical grade treadmills of woodway have such motors:
  1. The treadmills shown above are curved but can we not add a treadmill motor by ourselves if we are skilled enough?
