CITYSPORTS WP6: problems, parts and running costs

Checked: 2026-10-17

Summary

A 440 W under-desk walking pad with a hand-set three-position incline, a 1–6 km/h band and a 120 kg rating, best known for an incline that is rare at its price. Running costs are small — belt oil, cleaning and an occasional replacement remote — but there is no independent test, and owners report electric shocks, developing noise and slow parts service. It is a good buy around $90–150 and weak above roughly $200.

Common problems and fixes

Knocking and noise after weeks of use — one r/treadmills owner’s CitySports folding treadmill developed a knocking sound every 5–10 minutes after the session stopped, never while running, after about two months, plus belt drift; a ManualsLib Q&A has a CS-WP6 user asking how to fix a “very noisy” machine after oiling. Fix: keep the belt tensioned and tracked and vacuum debris from underneath. [12][4]
Slow parts and service — the same Trustpilot pool reports a replacement remote ordered in September still not received by mid-October, unanswered emails, an ignored cancellation request 30 minutes after ordering, and a WP3 owner sent a mismatched repair part. Fix: third-party generic remotes for WP2/WP3/CS-WP6 are sold on marketplaces. [14]
Model-name confusion — several near-identical CITYSPORTS pads share the name; at least two hardware generations carry CS-WP6, one with a fixed 6% incline and 110 kg capacity, and listings list 17 kg against the manual’s 15.7 kg. Fix: confirm the 0/11/13/14% three-pin incline and 15.7 kg on the exact listing. [1][2][3][22]
Remote required to start — the machine is unusable without its remote in normal use, and a manufacturer replacement was reported as delayed. Fix: keep the remote and buy a generic replacement if it is lost. [3][14]

Parts and consumables

Yearly running cost

No reliable yearly figure. Costs are electricity for a 440 W peak motor that realistically draws tens of watts at walking speed, belt lubrication oil and cleaning, and an occasional replacement remote if the original is lost. There is no subscription and no app lock-in: the metrics are the LED console’s, and Bluetooth is audio only. [3]

When it is a good buy

Around $90–150 — the narrow sweet spot, where the incline, 15.7 kg weight, no assembly and documented controls are hard to match. A UK review reports £89.99 on the UK marketplace, Decathlon UK lists the WP6 440 W at £89 (reduced from £299) and another 3-position model at £95, and a UK review puts the incline pad at £89.99. [6][19]
European price anchors — the manufacturer’s EU store lists the WP6 at €199, with the UK storefront showing a €129 flash sale against a €249 reference. [1][2][21]
US anchor — Walmart listed a CITYSPORTS walking pad at $89.99, out of stock at check, though that listing describes a 550 W sibling rather than this incline model. [18]
Above roughly $200 — the case weakens, because tested machines with 265–300 lb capacities, longer belts and published test records sit in the same money. [8][9][10]
Named alternatives — the Goplus 2-in-1 (about $150), Urevo, DeerRun and WalkingPad are the tested 2-in-1 pads to cross-shop when incline is not the deciding feature. [8][9][10]
