Price: £499.99 | Motor: 1.25 HP continuous / 2.5 HP peak | Max Speed: 7.5 mph (12 km/h) | Incline: 3-level manual | Deck: 119 × 51 cm | Max User Weight: 120 kg | Folding: Yes (flat-fold to 15 cm)
The JLL Pegasus sits in an interesting gap. It is not quite a walking pad and not quite a treadmill. It has a foldable handle like a walking pad, folds flat like a walking pad, and shares the same 7.5 mph speed cap as its stablemate the Helius Lite. But it has a 51 cm wide running belt — wider than many full-size folding treadmills — and a 3-level manual incline that no pure walking pad offers. That combination makes the Pegasus something genuinely different.

Who Is the JLL Pegasus For?
The Pegasus is built for people who want more room to move than a standard walking pad provides but cannot accommodate, or do not want, a full-size folding treadmill. If you found a Citysports or budget WalkingPad too narrow and cramped but you do not need 12.4 mph and 15-level powered incline, the Pegasus occupies the space in between.
Specifically, it suits three groups very well:
- First: Home office walkers who want a wider, more stable platform than the Helius Lite’s 42 cm belt. That extra 9 cm of width is the difference between carefully placing each step and walking naturally without thinking about foot placement.
- Second: People in flats and small homes who need the machine to disappear when not in use. The Pegasus folds flat to just 15 cm and slides under a sofa or bed.
- Third: Anyone who wants a gentle incline option for their walking sessions without paying for a powered incline system they will rarely push beyond level three anyway.
The 51 cm Belt — Why It Matters
This is the headline feature and the reason the Pegasus exists. At 51 cm wide, the running belt matches the Reebok Jet 300, a treadmill that costs twice as much. For a compact folding machine, that width is exceptional.
Width matters more than most people realise. On a narrow 40–42 cm belt, your natural walking gait tightens up. You subconsciously place your feet closer together to avoid stepping on the edges.
Over a 30-minute session, that unnatural gait creates tension in your hips and lower back. On a 51 cm belt, you walk normally. Your arms swing naturally. You do not think about foot placement. It sounds like a small thing until you experience the difference.
The trade-off is length. At 119 cm, the Pegasus deck is noticeably shorter than proper folding treadmills (the Reebok Jet 300 is 150 cm).
For walking and brisk walking up to about 4 mph, the length is perfectly adequate. If jogging at 5–6 mph, shorter users (under 5’8″) will manage, but taller users will feel confined. At 7.5 mph, the deck length becomes the limiting factor for almost everyone.
Motor and Speed
The 1.25 HP continuous (2.5 HP peak) DC motor is modest by treadmill standards but appropriate for what the Pegasus actually does. It delivers smooth, consistent power across the 0.6–7.5 mph speed range without the strain or noise you get from underpowered budget motors trying to punch above their weight.
Four quick-speed buttons on the handrails let you jump between preset speeds without fumbling with the console. The LCD tracks time, speed, distance, steps, pulse, and calories — steps being a useful addition that not all treadmills include. Handrail pulse sensors provide a rough heart rate reading, though as with every treadmill that uses grip sensors, the accuracy is approximate at best. If heart rate accuracy matters to you, wear a chest strap or wrist monitor.
The 7.5 mph cap is worth thinking about honestly. For context, 7.5 mph is roughly a 8-minute mile pace. That is a genuine jog, it is not walking. Most people who buy compact treadmills in this price bracket will never sustain 7.5 mph for any meaningful distance. The speed cap only becomes a limitation if you are already a runner looking for training stimulus, and if you are, you should not be buying a walking pad hybrid anyway.
3-Level Manual Incline
The Pegasus offers three levels of manual incline. This means you physically adjust the incline by hand when the treadmill is stopped. It’s not a powered, and it does not change mid-workout at the press of a button.
Three levels is limited, but in the context of the walking pad category, having any incline at all is a differentiator. The Helius Lite at £399.99 has zero incline. Most Citysports and WalkingPad models have zero incline. Even a modest 2–3% gradient increases calorie burn by roughly 15–20% during walking sessions and engages your glutes and hamstrings in a way flat walking simply does not.
For the 12-3-30 crowd, this treadmill won’t cut it. Three manual levels and a 7.5 mph top speed rule this out for the TikTok treadmill workout. The 12-3-30 requires 12% incline at 3 mph, and the Pegasus cannot deliver the incline portion. If that workout is a priority, look at the Reebok Jet 100z or the Jet 200, both of which have powered incline with enough range. Or, if you need even more incline, check out our top incline treadmill picks.
Folding and Storage
The Pegasus folds flat to approximately 15 cm high. That is genuinely thin. Thin enough to slide under a standard sofa, under most beds, or stand vertically against a wall. The Soft Drop System uses a hydraulic arm to control the unfolding, so the handle does not crash down when you release it. Transport wheels on the front make it easy to roll the folded unit into position.
At 49 kg, it is heavier than the Helius Lite (36 kg) but still manageable for one person to move around. For context, the JLL T350 weighs substantially more and folds upright rather than flat, a completely different storage proposition. The Pegasus is designed for people who want the treadmill to vanish between sessions, and in that regard it delivers.
The 7.3 cm deck height when unfolded is impressively low. This is a walking pad-style deck height, which means you step on and off easily without the elevated platform of a traditional treadmill. If you have mobility limitations or joint concerns, that low step-on height is a practical safety benefit.
SunnyFit App and Connectivity
Bluetooth LE connects the Pegasus to the SunnyFit App, which is free and does not require a subscription. The app provides access to over 1,000 trainer-led workout videos, global walking and running routes, and detailed session tracking including speed, time, distance, calories, and steps.
This is genuinely good value. NordicTrack’s iFIT costs £156–£396 per year. Peloton’s subscription is £12.99 per month. The SunnyFit app is free, and while it is not as polished or content-rich as either of those platforms, it provides enough guided content and tracking to keep walking sessions varied and engaging. The world tour routes, virtual walks through cities and landscapes, are surprisingly motivating for daily walking pad users who would otherwise stare at a wall.
The Pegasus does not connect to Zwift, Kinomap, or other third-party fitness apps. If you’re looking for the best treadmill for Zwift, the Reebok Jet range treadmills offers both Zwift and Kinomap support. The Pegasus locks you into the Sunny ecosystem, but since that ecosystem is free, the lock-in cost is zero.
A USB 5V/1A charging port keeps your phone or tablet topped up during sessions, and a device holder keeps it visible. Practical touches that matter during hour-long walking sessions.
Programs
The JLL Pegasus comes with fifteen preset workout programs plus a body fat test. The programs vary speed automatically across the session to create interval-style workouts. At 7.5 mph max speed, these intervals move between walking and brisk walking or light jogging. They are not high-intensity interval training in any meaningful sense, but they do prevent the monotony of walking at a fixed pace for 30–45 minutes.
The body fat test uses the handrail pulse sensors combined with your weight and age to estimate body fat percentage. Take the result with a generous pinch of salt — grip-sensor body fat estimates are notoriously imprecise, and that’s across any treadmill not just the JLL. It is a novelty feature, not a diagnostic tool.

The comparison that matters most is Pegasus vs Helius Lite. For £100 more, the Pegasus gives you a belt that is 9 cm wider, 3-level manual incline, 15 onboard programs, and a more stable walking platform. The Helius Lite counters with its brushless motor (quieter and theoretically longer-lasting) and lighter weight (36 kg vs 49 kg).
If you primarily walk at a desk and noise is your top priority, the Helius Lite’s brushless motor has a genuine edge. For everything else, especially if you ever intend to jog or want incline, the Pegasus is worth the extra hundred.
Against the Reebok GT40z, it is a different philosophy. The GT40z is a traditional small treadmill with a 40 cm belt that folds upright, manual incline, 43 programs, Zwift and Kinomap compatibility, and a vastly superior warranty (10-year frame, lifetime if bought from certain retailers).
Whereas, the Pegasus is a modern walking pad hybrid with a wider belt that folds flat. If you have space for an upright-folding treadmill and want app connectivity, the GT40z is arguably the better buy. If flat storage is essential, the Pegasus wins.
Build Quality and Design
The Pegasus uses a rigid steel frame rated to 120 kg. At 49 kg assembled, it has enough heft to feel planted during use without the instability that plagues lighter walking pads. The shock absorption deck provides basic cushioning underfoot — nothing comparable to the multi-point suspension systems on the T350 or Reebok Jet range, but noticeably softer than walking on a hard floor.
The low 7.3 cm deck height gives the Pegasus a sleek, modern profile. It looks more like a piece of contemporary furniture than a piece of gym equipment, which matters if it lives in a living room or home office rather than a dedicated gym space. The anti-slip running surface provides secure footing through the full speed range.
Assembly is straightforward. The main unit arrives largely assembled — you attach the console frame and handlebars, which takes roughly 20–30 minutes with the included tools. Lubricate the belt before first use (lubricant is included). JLL’s user manual is clear and the process is simpler than assembling a full-size treadmill.
Warranty
JLL offers a minimum 12 months warranty on all fitness equipment, with most products covered for 24 months parts and labour.
This is weaker than what you get with Reebok treadmills at similar prices, which offer lifetime frame and 10-year motor coverage with no registration required. The Pegasus’s 24-month coverage in comparison is just adequate but not a major selling point.
JLL’s after-sales service is handled from Birmingham with UK phone support. This is consistently cited as a positive in customer feedback. You are dealing with a UK team, not an overseas call centre. A 30-day money-back guarantee provides additional purchase protection.
Final Verdict — 4.3 RunRank
The JLL Pegasus earns a 4.3 RunRank because it solves a genuine problem that its competitors do not. The 51 cm wide belt on a flat-folding compact treadmill is, as far as I can find, unmatched in the UK market at this price.
Every other walking pad and compact treadmill in the £300–£500 range forces you onto a 40–42 cm belt. The Pegasus gives you room to walk naturally, and that single feature transforms the daily walking experience from something you tolerate into something you barely notice — which is exactly what you want from a machine designed to keep you moving during the working day.
The manual incline, while limited to three levels, adds training variety that pure walking pads lack. The SunnyFit app is free and provides enough guided content to keep sessions interesting. The build quality is solid for the category, the folding mechanism works smoothly, and JLL’s UK-based customer service provides reassurance that you are not buying from a faceless Amazon seller.
It does not score higher because the fundamental limitations remain. The 119 cm deck is too short for comfortable running. The 7.5 mph speed cap restricts progression for anyone who improves beyond brisk walking. The 24-month warranty is weak compared to JLL’s own legacy range and significantly weaker than what Reebok offers.
Buy the Pegasus if flat-fold storage is non-negotiable and you want the widest, most comfortable walking surface available in a compact machine. It is the best walking pad hybrid in JLL’s current lineup and a clear upgrade over the Helius Lite for anyone who does not need the absolute quietest motor. If flat storage is not essential and you can accommodate an upright-folding treadmill, spend the extra £89 on the T350 and get a machine that will grow with your fitness for years rather than months.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you run on the JLL Pegasus?
Technically yes, up to 7.5 mph. Practically, the 119 cm deck length makes sustained running uncomfortable for most adults. The Pegasus is designed for walking and brisk walking with occasional light jogging. If you want to run regularly, look at the JLL T350 (132 cm deck, 11.2 mph) or a Reebok Jet series treadmill.
What is the difference between the JLL Pegasus and the JLL Helius Lite?
The Pegasus has a wider 51 cm belt (vs 42 cm), 3-level manual incline (vs none), and 15 onboard programs (vs app-only). The Helius Lite has a brushless motor (quieter, longer-lasting), lighter weight (36 kg vs 49 kg), and costs £100 less. If width and incline matter more than noise, choose the Pegasus. If you want the quietest possible machine for desk use, the Helius Lite’s brushless motor is the differentiator.
Does the JLL Pegasus need a subscription?
No. The treadmill works fully in standalone mode with 15 onboard programs. The SunnyFit app is free with no subscription required, providing additional guided workouts, global routes, and session tracking at no ongoing cost.
Can you do the 12-3-30 workout on the Pegasus?
No. The 12-3-30 workout requires 12% incline at 3 mph. The Pegasus has only 3 manual incline levels, which fall well short of 12%. For the 12-3-30, you need a treadmill with powered incline — the Reebok Jet 100z, or any treadmill with at least 12 levels of incline.
Does the Pegasus connect to Zwift or Kinomap?
No. The Pegasus connects exclusively to the SunnyFit app via Bluetooth LE. It does not support Zwift, Kinomap, or other third-party fitness platforms. If third-party app compatibility is important, the Reebok GT40z and Jet 100z both support Zwift and Kinomap.
How heavy is the Pegasus and can one person move it?
Approximately 49 kg assembled. One person can move the folded Pegasus using the front transport wheels, though it is heavier than the Helius Lite (36 kg). Assembly requires attaching the console frame and handlebars — roughly 20–30 minutes with one person. You will need to lubricate the belt before first use with the included silicone lubricant.
How does the Pegasus fold?
The handle folds down and the entire unit lies flat to approximately 15 cm height. This is a flat-fold design, not the upright fold used by traditional treadmills like the T350. The Soft Drop System uses a hydraulic arm to control the folding and unfolding, preventing the handle from crashing down. When folded flat, it slides under a sofa, bed, or stands against a wall.
