ABSTRACT:
A foldable treadmill is provided with a powered folding capability. The treadmill has a support and a track bed. The front end of the track bed is disposed pivotally to the support, and an incline motor connects to the support and to the track bed. The motor is operated to fold or unfold the track bed. The track bed back end can be raised or lowered, and the incline of the track bed can be adjusted up or down at the front end of the track bed. The support can be an upright support. A slot is formed in the upright support. The track bed adjustably connects to the slot. As the incline of a track bed is adjusted with the incline motor, the track bed is guided in the slot.
