Frame construction
The UREVO URTM005 treadmill features a frame made of steel tubing. The base tubes are rectangular, the two upright
bars that support the console are oval, while the two side handrails are cylindrical and have a thick layer of PVC foam for an improved grip. All the steel parts in the machine’s construction are coated with a durable paint finish, black in color with the “UREVO” logo in orange. These are the only colors available for this machine.
The treadmill integrates several plastic parts as well. The most notable ones are the motor cover, the covers of the side rails, and the console dashboard. These are made from a tough thermoplastic material, also black in color, to fit the color theme of the machine.
This treadmill model is a bit smaller than the UREVO URTM004. It is approx. 55″ (140 cm) long, and 29″ (74 cm) wide, while the top of the console reaches approx. 50″ (127 cm) above the floor level. But even though it’s not a large treadmill, it is recommended to allow at least two feet of clearance on each side of the deck and at its rear for safe usage.
The machine is foldable. The deck can be folded up, which is quite a plus not only for the fact that you can save some space when the treadmill is not in use, but it also offers the possibility to clean underneath it with ease. The folding mechanism uses a hydraulic cylinder which slowly lowers the deck when you unfold it.
One last aspect to mention here regards the unit’s weight. This UREVO treadmill has a net weight of 81.5 lbs (37 kg). This being said, the packaged unit may require two people for transport. But once the machine is assembled, it can easily be moved by only one person as its front base frame has transport wheels.
Deck construction
The UREVO URTM005 is a small treadmill but it is equipped with a pretty sturdy running platform. It is rated for a
maximum user weight capacity of 265 lbs (120 kg) which is not bad for a home-use machine.
The treadmill’s running platform is cushioned. It features three shock absorption elements on each side. One pair is larger and placed at the middle of the deck, the other two pairs are smaller and placed one closer to the front of the deck, the other to the rear. The internal deckboard also has a bit of flex which adds to the overall shock absorption properties of the machine’s running platform.
Since it’s a small treadmill, the URTM005 doesn’t offer a super large active area. Its running surface is only 41″L x 17″W (104L x 43W cm). This being said, it should be able to accommodate users up to 5’7″ – 5’8″ (170 – 173 cm) for running. Taller users may not benefit from a complete range of motion for running, but they should be able to use this treadmill with no problem for walking.
The machine is equipped with a 6-layer belt featuring a textured, rubberized top layer meant for improved contact. The second layer is meant to reduce noise, while the mid-layers improve the belt’s structural strength. And finally, the bottom layer is the compression layer and also has a special texture that enables it to stick better to the rollers.
The exact diameter of the rollers is not specified. But as a general idea, since it’s a light-capacity treadmill made for home use, they’re not too thick. They are crowned, though, which improves traction and prolongs the life of the belt. They also integrate high-grade ball bearings for a smooth motion.
Incline system
The UREVO URTM005 is equipped with a manual incline system. This means that you cannot adjust the incline
while you are actively using the treadmill. In order to do that, you have to pause your workout and step off the machine. The console programs also do not adjust the incline. The calorie reading also does not adapt to a workout with an incline, even though you will burn more calories if exercising with an incline.
The unit’s incline system is pretty simple. It’s similar to the one of the SereneLife SLFTRD25. It consists of two metallic folding feet attached to the rear section of the running platform. Each foot has three adjustment holes. The adjustment is done with ease by removing and re-inserting the pull-pins in the desired positions.
It’s important to mention here that the machine’s deck does not have a perfectly horizontal position. With the pins inserted into the lowest holes of the adjustable feet, the machine’s active area has an incline of approx. 1%. The other two incline increments are 3% and 4.5%.
Drive motor
The UREVO URTM005 is a motorized treadmill. Differently put, you will need to connect it to an electrical outlet
in order to power up the console and adjust the speed of the belt. A power cord with a standard U.S. plug is included. The port for the power cord is at the front of the machine, and close to it, there is an ON/OFF switch.
The machine is equipped with a 3.0 HP motor. Although it is not as powerful as the motors of the commercial-grade machines, it still provides excellent performance for both walking and jogging. It also integrates a small flywheel for motion stability.
The unit’s motor offers a speed range between 0.5 MPH and 8.5 MPH. The speed adjustment increments are 0.1 MPH. Therefore, you can easily adapt your pace to the speed adjustments. There are speed controls for gradual adjustment and quick adjustment on the console and integrated into the right handrail. The +/- keys adjust the speed in increments of 0.1 MPH when pressed. The pre-set speed adjustment buttons allow you to quickly select 3 MPH or 6 MPH.
The motor itself does not generate too much noise even if it’s set to the highest speed. However, depending on your weight, running gear, running technique, floor type, and other factors, you may generate more or less noise when using the machine.
Console
The UREVO URTM005 treadmill is equipped with a pretty standard console. It features an LCD display that tracks
the most important workout metrics, including time, speed, distance, calories, and pulse. It does not have a pace count feature. Also, the pulse reading function is grip only. In other words, the console can only track your pulse if you hold on to the sensors integrated into the machine’s handrails. You cannot sync it with a wireless HR chest strap.
The console has 12 pre-set onboard programs. Each one of them has its segment layout engraved on the console. Some of them have an interval layout, others have a pretty random layout, while others are meant to help you burn more calories. You can select the desired workout program by repeatedly pressing the Prog. button on the console.
The console unit also has a workout goal function. It offers the possibility to select a workout target for time, distance, or calories burned. If a goal is selected, the unit will count down from the selected value until it reaches zero.
Since it’s a pretty basic treadmill, the UREVO URTM005 does not have features such as speakers, Bluetooth connectivity, and it is not compatible with any fitness apps. However, its dashboard does have two accessory trays while the bottom of the console features a small shelf that can serve as support for your tablet or phone. You cannot connect your device to the console, though.
Assembly and Maintenance
The machine’s deck with the belt, motor, rollers, and other parts, comes pre-assembled. Therefore, you only have to attach the two upright bars and the console with the handrails. This shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes of your time. The included manual provides clear assembly instructions and all the necessary tools are provided as well.
For maintenance, the unit’s deck requires periodic lubrication. The manual provides instructions for this as well. Other than this, you should also keep the machine clean and periodically check for loose bolts and parts.
