I have never visited India but, here in ther USA used tread mills( for people) are to be found in the trash on a regular basis. Also, 2nd hand sports stores are a good source. They are NOT restricted in any state. Granted attaching plywood sides to a treadmill may be hard to explain :oops: I've not concider one until we had a "normal " winter here in ChicagoLand this last year.
