I had an ancient moped when I was a lad around 1967 that had belt drive between the crankshaft and the primary drive sprocket. It was a v belt of the sort car's used to use for driving fans and dynamos at the time. The moped was made in 1959. It had 1.3 BHP and seemed pretty quick to me at the time. LOL.
