mechanical drives and belting

The serpentine belt is designed to wrap around several pulleys in the engine, creating a continuous loop. Its primary objective is to transfer power from the engine’s crankshaft to the various accessories that require it. This is achieved through the rotation of the crankshaft which, in turn, spins the serpentine belt. The belt's ability to power multiple components simultaneously allows for a more compact engine design, reducing the number of belts required compared to older vehicles that often had multiple V-belts.

These belts often come with additional padding or ergonomic designs to support the lower back and reduce fatigue during long rides.
