Belt-driven bicycle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A belt-driven bicycle is a bicycle that uses a rubber and fiber belt (such as typically drives automotive accessories) to transfer power from the pedals to the wheel.
Benefits:
- Lubrication is not required.
- Smoother operation
- Longer life than chains
Disadvantages:
- Possibly more difficult to get (though often readily-available automotive standard belts are used).
- Belt-driven bikes often incorporate proprietary plastic gears, which wear out more quickly than metal, in their drive trains.
