Caused by jamming more power through it than it was designed to handle. :roll:

...whoops! Too much POWAH!

Methinks the crack is too big for a Hello Kitty band-aid to do much good. :|

Greetings:

Definitely too much damage for Hello Kitty bandage. Better use two.

On the plus side, great excuse for a ZX conversion?

when it broke I was taking off into traffic. It made a rattling noise.

I pulled over to see what was wrong and noticed the rear pulley wobbling.

I continued to ride home at a slower pace (40mph) :smile:

two miles later the belt snapped :sad:

I pushed the scooter the remaining 1/4 mile or so.
