A foldable treadmill comprising a base bracket, a deck coupled to the base
bracket for moving between a use position and a stored position, a
support post extending upwardly and movably coupled to the deck, and a
handle pivotally connected to the support post. A handle linkage can be
coupled to the handle, and a lifting device can be coupled between the
base bracket and the handle linkage for moving the handle when the deck
is being moved. In one embodiment, the lifting device includes a support
rod coupled to the support post and a deck rod coupled between the base
bracket and the support rod. In this embodiment, the support rod has a
first portion slidably coupled to the deck and another portion coupled to
the handle linkage. The treadmill can further include a control panel
movably coupled to the top portion of the support post. Preferably, a
link bar is coupled between the control panel and the handle for moving
the control panel when the deck is being moved.
