Leg powered

But surely that's pedal (foot) not manual (hand)? 🤓

Luckily it’s not a very steep incline. But makes for a good workout.

So I’m a treadmill user (electric powered) are you just using your legs to move the belt? This has just blown my mind Libet98

Libet98 in reply to Hidden 2 years ago Exactly. The gentle style running speed/ incline is fine for me but may not suit more advanced runners. You need to hold onto the handles when running, otherwise you would possibly not stay on it. I got it from Decathlon. Was a reasonable price. Would recommend!
