Very cool. The one thing I'm curious about is how the belt stays on the rear. I don't see side guards so it looks like it would fall off. How wide is that belt too?
10mm Wide. Typically the belts run at a high tension so you don't have to worry about them falling off.

the wheels/cogs/gears each have a single sidewall to them. On DW2's bike, the front is outside, and the rear is inside. If the belt is kept tight, it won't be able to wander off.
