Urevo Belt stopping when I step on it

Hello everyone!

I recently purchased a Urevo Foldable treadmill (UR9TM0010) off a woman who herself had just bought it a few months ago before an injury meant she couldn't use it anymore. She was a reputable source and I didn't find any issues when inspecting it, but when I brought it home and tried it the belt kept stopping whenever I hopped on. I took off the case and while I'm not too familiar with the technical terms, I noticed that the motor seemed to be working fine, but the belt that connected to the roller would stop and seize up whenever I stood on it. Given that I'm 50 pounds below the maximum weight (265 lbs) I figured it's not a me problem per se.

I've looked up this issue online and found a few solutions, but tightening the belt didn't seem to have much impact and I'm reluctant to mess with it too much. It runs fine whenever I just turn it on so I don't think there's any other issues with it. Worst case scenario there's more than one reputable exercise repair groups around my area, but I figured I'd ask here in case anyone has any tips.

    Hey KevinC, thanks for the reply. I got two vials of lubricant when I got it, and I lubed it pretty well today. I *think* there was some improvement, but I can still feel it sagging when I step on it. Are there any other additional things I can do?

    sometimes, those belts can be pretty dry and that causes a lot of friction. I would try lubing it some more and concentrate the lube right in front of where you walk. What I'm trying to accomplish is to re-condition the belt.

    Hey KevinC,

    I tried applying more lubricant but I'm still not seeing or feeling any real change.

    Check the belt from the roller to the motor. Does it stop? does the motor keep spinning?
  • DamianJDamianJ
    The Motor keeps spinning, but the belt connecting the roller to the Motor stops whenever I put enough pressure on it.

    check to see if you can tighten it up. if you can't, replace the belt.
