What is the emergency solution if the scooter belt breaks?

If the transmission belt breaks, it is definitely due to a problem with the pulley. Therefore, when encountering this issue, simply replacing the rear pulley and the belt will resolve the fault. Regularly clean and maintain the belt housing; if the pulley is damaged or the belt is broken, always replace them with original factory parts.
I often help people repair this type of scooter, and a broken belt is really troublesome. The emergency solution is to stop immediately and not restart the engine, otherwise it may damage the engine or other parts. Find a safe spot to pull over, turn on the hazard lights or set up a warning triangle to prevent rear-end collisions. Then check whether the belt is completely broken or partially broken. If it's completely broken, you can't fix it yourself and can only call a towing service or ask a friend to help tow it to a repair shop. Don't try to temporarily secure it with ropes or tape—it's unreliable and can be even more dangerous. This issue is often caused by belt aging or overuse. I recommend checking the belt for wear every six months to see if there are any cracks or looseness. Maintain a reasonable load and avoid overloading with heavy items. Replacing the belt isn't expensive and can prevent bigger problems. If you ride for a long time, you might also hear warning noises—squeaking sounds should alert you.
