Frequently asked questions

• What does CHP mean when it comes to motor?
  CHP stands for Continuous horsepower. Treadmills are usually rated in terms of CHP.

  Well, this depends on the purpose as to why you want to buy one. The reason could be walking, jogging or running. It all depends on what you are targeting. An ideal CHP for walking is 2 CHP, for jogging it is 2.5 CHP and for running it is 3CHP. Though this isn’t an exact figure to rely on but the most ideal conditions would be more or less near the above mentioned figures.
