Of course, I am aware of 2-speed cassette from Veer. However, I was motivated to make a multi-speed belt driven twin of the derailleur-shifted chain drive.
What's the point? If you want belt drive use an internal geared hub, that's belt-friendly (good alignment and tension control) and clean and reliable.
