Recreational Belt Applications
Snowmobiles
Snowmobiles use Mitsuboshi Double Cog Variable Speed (DCVS) belts, which are mounted between the drive and driven pulleys in the CVT system. These belts are designed to handle high torque and fluctuating loads, ensuring reliable performance in extreme cold and deep snow.
Scooters
Scooters use Mitsuboshi Variable Speed Belts for smooth, automatic acceleration—thanks to excellent flexibility and deformation resistance. EV scooters often use our Rear Wheel Drive Timing Belts, which deliver quiet, efficient power even in dusty or muddy conditions.
All-Terrain & Utility Task Vehicles (ATV/UTV)
Mitsuboshi CVT belts operate inside ATV and UTV transmission systems, transferring power between the drive and driven clutches. They automatically manage torque and speed to deliver smooth, reliable performance across uneven terrain, heavy loads, and demanding off-road conditions.
Golf Carts (Gas-Powered)
Mitsuboshi CVT belts in gas-powered golf carts connect the engine to the driven pulley, automatically adjusting speed without shifting. Housed in the transmission case, they provide smooth, quiet acceleration—ideal for courses, resorts, and utility use.
Electric Bikes
Mitsuboshi belts provide electric bikes with smooth, quiet, and efficient power transfer. Designed for durability and low maintenance, they offer a clean alternative to chain drives while delivering reliable performance and a refined riding experience.
Go-Karts and Mini-Buggies
In recreational vehicles like go-karts and mini-buggies, Mitsuboshi CVT belts are positioned between the engine and driven pulley. These belts provide seamless acceleration and torque control, making them ideal for both casual driving and competitive racing.

Rear Wheel Drive Belts
Clean, Quiet, Maintenance-Free: Mitsuboshi Belt Advantage
Mitsuboshi Rear Wheel Drive Timing Belts are widely used in EV scooters due to their high transmission performance and low noise, even in dusty or muddy conditions. Compared to chains, they reduce sound pressure by up to 7% (*1), require no re-tensioning or oil lubrication, and are 10% lighter—contributing to better energy efficiency and reduced maintenance. These belts also offer excellent durability and improve transmission efficiency by up to 0.4% compared to chain drives (*2), making them a quiet, clean, and reliable choice for modern electric scooters.
