The Volksgym P-73iM is a high-performance home treadmill built around a 3.5 HP DC motor — the most powerful DC motor in Volksgym's home treadmill range. At AED 7,299, it targets runners and joggers who need sustained power at higher speeds, particularly users who regularly train at 15–20 km/h and need a motor that maintains belt speed without faltering under load.

The 3.5 HP motor advantage

Most home treadmills in the UAE use 2.0–3.0 HP DC motors. The P-73iM's 3.5 HP motor provides a measurable performance advantage at higher speeds. At 15+ km/h, a stronger motor maintains more consistent belt speed when your foot strikes — you feel less "give" in the belt and the speed doesn't momentarily drop with each stride. For runners who train at pace, this consistency is the difference between a treadmill that helps your running and one that fights it.

The speed range extends to 20 km/h, making the P-73iM one of the fastest home treadmills in the Volksgym lineup. Combined with 15-level auto incline, it covers everything from recovery walks to interval sprint training.

Technical specifications

Who should buy the P-73iM

• Serious home runners who train at speed — if you regularly run at 14–20 km/h, the 3.5 HP motor provides the belt consistency that lighter-motor treadmills can't match. This is a runner's treadmill, not a walking machine.
• Interval training enthusiasts — sprint intervals at 18–20 km/h followed by recovery jogs at 6–8 km/h. The 3.5 HP motor handles rapid speed transitions smoothly.
• Tall runners (175–190 cm) — the 1500 × 510 mm belt is one of the longest in Volksgym's home range, giving taller runners full stride clearance at higher speeds.
• Users who prioritise motor power over screen technology — the P-73iM uses a standard LED display rather than a touchscreen, investing the engineering budget into the motor and running platform instead.

P-73iM vs other Volksgym treadmills for runners

The K-36i+ (AED 8,299) has better incline (18%) and shock absorption (6-level adjustable) but a smaller motor (3.0 HP) and lower top speed (18 km/h). Choose the K-36i+ if incline walking is your focus. Choose the P-73iM (AED 7,299) if flat-speed running performance is your priority — it's more motor, more belt length, and a higher top speed at a lower price.

Frequently asked questions

Is 20 km/h fast enough for sprint training?

20 km/h is a 3-minute kilometre pace — faster than most recreational runners will ever train. For reference, a 5K in 20 minutes requires 15 km/h. The P-73iM's speed range covers virtually every home training scenario from gentle walking (3 km/h) to competitive interval sprints (20 km/h).

Why 3.5 HP DC instead of an AC motor?

DC motors are quieter than AC motors — a significant advantage for apartment use in the UAE. The 3.5 HP rating provides enough power for home sessions of 60–90 minutes per day. AC motors (found on the V-4+ and V5) are designed for 6–8+ hours of continuous commercial use. For a home gym running 1–3 daily sessions, the P-73iM's DC motor is the better match in both performance and noise level.

How does the 1500 × 510 mm belt compare?

At 1500 mm long, the P-73iM's belt is 100–200 mm longer than most Volksgym home treadmills (typical range: 1260–1400 mm). This extra length is noticeable for taller runners and at higher speeds where stride length increases. The 510 mm width is standard — adequate for all but the widest-stance runners.
