1. Cogged Belts
These are also called timing belts and synchronous belts, because like a chain, they cannot slip. There are not many mopeds or mini-cycles with cogged (toothed) belts.
Besides different lengths and widths there are also different pitches and profiles (tooth shapes). So there are thousands of possible cogged belts. The belt length is the tooth count times the pitch. So a 610-5M belt has 610/5 = 122 teeth.

5mm rounded teeth
610-5M-18
Di Blasi: The 1997-on DiBlasi R7E has a cogged drive belt 18mm wide, and has 122 teeth that repeat every 5mm (5mm pitch). 122 x 5 = 610 mm length. One replacement that is shorter is 600-5M-18, with 120 teeth. It fits and meshes correctly, but only when the adjustment slots are lengthened. A 610-5M-18 with 122 teeth is the original size.
Here is a 610-5M-18 in New Jersey.
T5x395-20 (395-T5-20)
Laura M56: This engine from Holland is on 1978-80 Batavus and 1982-85 Trac mopeds. The original belt was 20mm wide, had 79 teeth with 5mm pitch. 79 x 5 = 395 mm length. The tooth profile was T5, not 5M. Very similar belts 400-5M-20 and 395-5M-20 do not mesh right.
T5x395-20, price none
T5x390-20 (390-T5-20)
Laura M56 with shaved teeth: For many years, there was only a shorter belt available. 78 x 5 = 390 length. It required shaving down the tooth tops of the big pulley. 100’s of bikes had that done. Those bikes would still need a one-tooth-less belt.
T5x390-20, price $18.0
T10x510-25 (510-T10-25)
Jawa 210 and 225: The 1983-1995 Jawa 210 and 225 moped models have a cogged belt 25mm wide, and has 51 teeth type T10, that repeat every 10mm (10mm pitch). 51 x 10 = 510 mm length. A 25T10/510 with 51 teeth is the original size.
Here is a 25T10/510 or 510-T10-25 or T10x510-25 in New Jersey.

V-Belts Explained
The smooth sides of V-belts are what grips the pulley. The harder the pull, the more it grips, because of the V angle. The top and bottom do not touch anything.
First is a graphic showing the cross-sectional shapes and sizes of replacement V-belts that can be used on mopeds and small scooters. V-belts for variators (variable pulleys) are the “low profile” type, called “variable speed belts”. V-belts for fixed pulleys are the “high profile” type, called either “classic” or “cogged”, see below.
V-belts are made by Gates in different styles, widths, and lengths. Here the width choices from 9.5 to 17.5 mm. Larger or smaller sizes are omitted.
9.5 mm 3L, 3V, 3VX
10.0 mm 10X, SPZ, XPZ
11.9 mm automotive 15
12.7 mm 4L, A, AX
13.0 mm 13X, SPA, XPA
13.5 mm automotive 17
15.9 mm 5V, 5VX
16.0 mm SPB, XPB
16.7 mm 5L, B, BX
17.0 mm 17X
17.5 mm automotive 22
Smooth or Notched: The notches, or cogs, on V-belts are not teeth, like on toothed belts. They are relief slots that help the belt bend easier, for less friction and more efficiency. Equipment that originally had smooth belts can use cogged belts, and visa versa.
Batavus/Laura M48 20mph v-belt: So far there is only a part number and a photo, but no width, length or belt number available. It’s size can only be estimated from this photo. If anyone knows, please tell Shaun by email.
