This is one of my
early prototypes from 1998. It's very nice to no longer worry
about adjustment, lubrication, etc. My rear tire stays clean between
washes, and the belt drive is nearly silent.

Currently, I have
over 55,000 miles on
my belt drive system (as of 8/18/2001). It's extremly smooth, and I love the reduction in engine
RPM's with the ratio change. The bike sounds more relaxed,
and I'm much happier from a maintenance standpoint. The typical engine RPMs at
60 mph is now 3990, as opposed to about 4400 on the original chain drive with a
17t front sprocket and a 42t rear sprocket. Check out LoRider's
belt drive by clicking HERE.
Hundreds of
these units are in use around the world, and many refinements and changes have
been made since the early model in the photo above.
