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

...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)
two miles later the belt snapped
I pushed the scooter the remaining 1/4 mile or so.
