Hi,

Does anyone know what the service life for the TC Max belt is? Also, how long should the pulleys last and would they both need to be replaced together?

Thanks

Yes. I'd like to know service life and also if anyone have had an accident were the belt has snapped.

Also if I DON't recall it wrong a newer version of Super Soco TC-Max (maybe 2022 version) will have a thicker / wider belt.

I believe the service Interval for the TC Max belt is 12,000km according to the owners manual. Every 1000km the belt should be checked for imperfections such as cracks stretch or tearing. The rear belt pulley shouldn’t have to be changed for a long time. I highly doubt they will change to a bigger belt as there is no need to because the electric motor puts out a smooth consistency of torque and there is no gear shifting. Zero-Electric Motorcycles have nearly the same belt width.

Wow that'll mean I'll need a new belt every year! I'm doing about 8500 miles a year. By the way I found a cheap supplier of the original gates belt on eBay for £35. Here's the link:

@jim0 

the TC Max 2022 uses Poly Chain GT Carbon belts, did the older ones use this version?
