Short answer: both give you 0–12% automatic incline and 1–10 km/h. Buy the Y3 (€199.99) if quiet matters: it's brushless (claimed under 35 dB vs under 50 dB), 5 kg lighter and rated to 150 kg. Buy the Y1 (€169.99) to save €30 and get a slightly larger deck.

  • PriceThe Y1 is €30 cheaper for the same incline and speed range.
  • DeckThe Y1's 98 × 40 cm is marginally bigger than the Y3's 97 × 39 cm, not enough to decide on alone.
