# Best treadmills for heavier users (136 kg and over) Source: https://deckandstride.co.uk/best/best-treadmills-for-heavier-users Publisher: Deck and Stride. Picks are based on what the Amazon listings state, not on hands-on testing. Method: https://deckandstride.co.uk/how-we-pick The maximum user weight on a treadmill listing is the first figure to check if you weigh 136 kg (21 st 6 lb) or more. It is the maker's own rating for the frame, deck and motor, and riding close to it every day puts more strain on parts. The motor rating and belt size give some extra idea of how the machine is built. This guide only includes treadmills and walking pads whose listings state a limit of 136 kg or more, and compares them on that limit, motor rating, belt size, incline and speed. Where the title and the spec table disagree on the limit, we point it out and suggest confirming with the seller. Picks are ordered by stated user limit and the build details behind it. ## Products ### 1.
