I believe the flexing you're referring to is at the bottom bracket? There is indeed flex there at the welded bracket that holds the BB.
And yes, the kevlar belt will skip when you're mashing on the pedals. There is an adjustment to tighten the belt at the bottom of the eccentric BB. Be careful not to tighten it too much, though.
The Strida is a fun bike. Enjoy it!
