Uploaded below are the difference between proper and improper belt fit on Ather.
The belt in Ather is just 50% on the sproket, which is definitely not a ideal fit, which might cause wear & tear of the belt much sonner than the lifetime.
There should had been sidewalls on both sides for both end of the pulleys to avoid sliding of belt like this.
I don’t think this is true. I understand that it might look like that. And I had the same doubt too. But the truth is the sprocket Is a bit wider than the width of the belt used. And the belt is completely on the sprocket as you can see in this zoomed in image
Ya True, Belt seems to be well between both sidewalls !
Or may be belt is too thin for this sprocket? as we could able to see the sprocket gear to the left side.
As you could see from other reference belt drive bikes, the belt completely covers the sprocket.
Ya the sprocket might be a bit wide for this belt. I wonder why Ather chose to go for a wider sprocket.
@Ather.Team might have had a reason to go with this particular sprocket. Could just be to give the belt some wiggle room. Since my belt sits a bit differently now
