Belts are pretty inexpensive. I've put nearly 4,000 miles on my 244cc scoot this past summer. When I bought it in the spring, the seller said the belt was new the previous fall. I'll still probably change it out this next spring after I take it out of storage. I'll keep the old one as a spare and call it good. Gas savings alone on the scoot versus my 2002 Saturn L300 already has me at breakeven if I sell the scoot for what I bought it for ($600) so for me it's cheap insurance.
