2 years ago, there was a eBay seller what sold new original drive belt for 80$ include shipping to israel - https://www.ebay.com/usr/genuine-only?_trksid=p2047675.l2559

I've gotten my belts from Taiwan Big Scooter Shop or Taiwanese sellers eBay. There are also reputable sellers such as bike-parts-kymco.uk. All prices have gone up due to COVID in Taiwan.

I only ever buy genuine OEM belts as they have to fit precisely and will last beyond the 20,000km change interval.

Buy only OEM belt....based on over 400,000 miles of rubber band drive scooters.  They work.   Try your dealer---I have been to Israel, remember only Vespas---but Kymco must have dealer.
