Evolve B1 Treadmill Review – Key Features

Treadmill Description:

This lower priced budget Treadmill is the Evolve B1 Treadmill and is the lowest priced treadmill under this brand where you should be able to buy it for less than £300 when seen at the time of this review. It’s a smaller compact size electric motorised treadmill that can be folded up after use and it has a lightweight design which can be moved from room to room with the use of the integrated rollers wheels on the front frame of the treadmill.
Instead of having the auto inclines, the inclines here need to be changed manually and there are 3 incline settings to choose from – if you are not bothered about inclines, then the middle incline works fine and then just leave it as is. The running deck is on the smaller scale coming in at 100cm long by 35cm wide and the overall dimensions once assembled are 136cm by 58.5cm by 123cm
Not all lower priced treadmills have the Bluetooth connectivity but this treadmill includes the Bluetooth connection feature as well as the Aux port and USB ports which helps keep you entertained and on the running deck for longer. The level of power from the motor is 0.75 HP (peak 1.5HP) which offers a speed level of 0.8 km per hour to 10m km per hour, there are 12 programme options to choose from and the display keeps track of the main parameters such as the speed, calories, distances, calories and pulse rates.
You get the easy controls for adjusting the workouts, 2 water cup holders, a holder for your smart device and a standard 12 month warranty cover from this treadmill provider.

Price Guide: £200 to £300

Pros to Note:

For people looking for a low priced budget treadmill, then this could be a perfect fit for you especially if you are just looking for a smaller compact treadmill as savings can be made here
Other higher spec treadmills can cost you well over £500 where you should be able to get your hands on this treadmill for less than £280 when seen at the time of this review or even less than £250 when promotional discounts are in place
You have the Bluetooth connectivity which is generally only available on higher spec treadmills – ideal for connecting with your smart phone or tablet for playing music or watching your favourite Netflix series
Some of the programs are fairly basic but there are some really useful cardio running workout sessions included as well
The large buttons on the console deck are easy to see, use and are user friendly without any of the complicated functions you see on other treadmills – simplistic design layout
Not all low priced treadmills offer programs to choose from where you have 12 options here. The first for example is a 10 minute session starting at 4 km/hr, then increasing to 6 km/hr and then slows down to 3 km per hour.
The slower speeds are ideal for people who just want a faster walking pace or even for people who need it for rehabilitation and recovery of a knee, foot or ankle injury.
Folding it up after use is a great way to save space especially for people who live in small living spaces such as apartments

Cons to Note:

The size of the running deck is on the small side for us especially when running at higher speeds – we would prefer it to be wider (like the larger deck on the Evolve A1 treadmill)
Power from the motor is on the lower scale level at peak 1.5HP, again our preference would be for a motor with 2.5 HP power and above
It is limited to people with a max weight of 15.7 stone or 100kg. If you weigh over this, then you should start looking elsewhere
The quality of the loud speakers could be a whole lot better and the screen for displaying the tracking data is too small for our liking
You are limited to running at 10 km per hour here. If you wish to run faster than this, then check out the Evolve A1 further below that offers speeds up to 14 km per hour
Only suitable for casual runners, beginners or lower intermediate levels in our opinion – it doesn’t provide enough power for the hardcore cardio exercise sessions or athletes.
Adjusting the manual inclines is more difficult than expected and should be easier to do. Plus they offer e books as part of the service but is not always delivered upon
It’s great to have the water holders but they are not deep enough in our opinion as the bottles can fall out – they should be deeper
The assembly instructions are very basic and they could be outlined a lot better to avoid mistakes from happening with the various small parts involved

Conclusion

After completing this Evolve B1 treadmill review, we hope our work here has shed some light for you and perhaps given you a better overview of what this treadmill is all about. It’s a small basic and budget type treadmill for casual users or beginners in our opinion and is not really suitable for the intermediate or advanced cardio athletes. On the plus side though, it does comes with a 12 month warranty and an attractive price level so it will certainly help those of you who need to save money in the process of losing weight and getting in shape once again but we would be concerned about its durability and longevity in the months ahead – it may not be robust enough to cater for ongoing regular intensive cardio weekly use.

Verdict

Would we buy the Evolve B1 treadmill? Sorry but we feel that this would not be the treadmill to meet our own fitness requirements. The water bottle holders are poor, the deck is too small, the power of the motor is not strong enough and the speed levels are too low plus it is not capable of dealing with the weight of a larger person in our opinion over 100kg for intense cardio sessions. Our preference would have to be the JTX Sprint 3 Treadmill from an earlier review and further information can be double checked below which offers a longer warranty and a UK based customer support team that won’t let you down…
