A belt drive is a maintenance choice. It is quiet, it does not want oil, and it is usually one speed unless the page adds a gearbox. It does not make a small battery into a long ride, and a sold-out belt is not a bike you can order.
This best belt-drive electric bike shortlist uses Fiido and Tenways pages checked October 26, 2026. At time of writing, in October 2026, the in-stock belt bike is the Fiido Air. The Tenways CGO600 Pro belt, the CGO800S, and the AGO T were sold out. A Tenways early-access banner was on the site. The prices below are the variant prices, not a spin prize. We have not ridden them.
The weight question, including the Air at 30.3 pounds, is the lightweight guide. A chain commuter you can order this week is the city commuter guide. The belt-drive hub is this page.
What a belt page has to print
The word belt, on the drivetrain line. The Air spec block says a Gates CDN belt. The CGO600 Pro page says a Shimano 8-speed chain or a Gates carbon belt. The CGO800S spec page says a Gates belt, single speed. The AGO T says a Gates carbon belt and an Enviolo stepless hub. A cruiser with a chain is not this list. The Wayfarer spec page says a Shimano 8-speed.
Stock for the belt variant, not the chain variant. On the CGO600 Pro page, two chain sizes were in stock at $1,499. Every belt size was unavailable at $1,899. Buying the chain because the belt photo is pretty is a different bike.
A battery you can plan. The Air prints 208.8Wh and no single range. The AGO T prints 504Wh and no range. The CGO800S prints 36V 10.4Ah and no watt-hours. We did not multiply voltage by amp-hours.
Fiido Air
The Fiido Air (opens in a new tab) was $1,979, from $3,079. M, L, and XL were in stock on October 26, 2026. M is 5 feet 5 inches to 5 feet 9 inches, L is 5 feet 7 inches to 6 feet 3 inches, and XL is 6 feet 1 inch to 6 feet 9 inches.
Net weight is 30.3 pounds. The feature list calls 35 Nm a peak torque on a 250W brushless motor. The spec block names the drive unit Mivice M070 250W. Payload is 264 pounds. Tires are 700 by 40C. The drivetrain is a Gates CDN belt, 60 tooth crank, 22 tooth cog. Brakes are hydraulic discs. It does not fold. Claimed range is not a single figure, so the cell is blank. The XL height is in the tall-rider guide. The weight is the point of the lightweight guide.
Tenways CGO600 Pro belt
The Tenways CGO600 Pro (opens in a new tab) belt builds, single speed, were $1,899 in M, L, and XL, in Sky Blue, Pebble Grey, and Midnight Black. Every one of those was unavailable. Sky Blue M and Pebble Grey M chain builds were $1,499, from $1,899, and in stock. The chain row elsewhere on this site still shows the October 16 price of $1,599.
The headline says 37 lb and up to 53 miles, a rear hub, a magnetic torque sensor, and a portable battery. Watts, a torque number, watt-hours, tire size, payload, and a class are not printed. A single rider-height range for M, L, and XL was not in the block we copied. The page does not describe a fold. This row is the belt. The chain bike is the lightweight guide's row.
Tenways CGO800S
The Tenways CGO800S (opens in a new tab) in Pebble Grey, Sky Blue, and Deep Pink was still $1,699, from $1,999, and unavailable on October 26, 2026. Midnight Black was still $1,999 and unavailable. That matches the October 19 check.
The spec page says a Mivice M080 350W rear hub and 45 Nm. A peak watt is not printed. The sensor is a Mivice S200B torque sensor. Top speed is 20 mph. Range is up to 53 miles. The battery line is 36V 10.4Ah. Watt-hours are not printed. Net weight is 46 pounds. Full weight is 51 pounds. Max load is 264 pounds. Tires are CST 700 by 48C. The drivetrain is a Gates belt, single speed. Brakes are Tektro hydraulic discs. The description says relaxed upright geometry. It does not say step-through, and it does not print a rider height. The city commuter guide uses the same sold-out row.
Tenways AGO T
The Tenways AGO T (opens in a new tab) was $2,699 in Pearl White, Midnight Black, and Jungle Green, and every color was sold out. The crossed-out price was the same $2,699, so we are not calling it a sale.
The page prints a Gates carbon belt, an Enviolo stepless shifting hub, an 80 Nm mid-drive, a 504Wh portable battery, an integrated torque sensor, a hydraulic lockout fork, and hydraulic disc brakes. Watts are not printed. Range is not printed. Bike weight, payload, tire size, and a class are not printed. One size is for riders from 5 feet 7 inches to 6 feet 5 inches. The page does not say step-through. A mid-drive that can use a low gear is a different tool. This one uses a stepless hub instead of a cassette. The steep-hills guide is where a cassette mid-drive is the question.

- Fiido Air. Claimed range is not a single published figure, so range is blank. A filter tag on the page says 70 to 100 km, which is a bucket, not a spec.
- Fiido Air. The bike does not fold. It is here because 30.3 lb is the lightest Fiido weight on the US store that day.
- Fiido Air. M is listed for 5 feet 5 inches to 5 feet 9 inches, L for 5 feet 7 inches to 6 feet 3 inches, and XL for 6 feet 1 inch to 6 feet 9 inches.

- Tenways AGO T. Watts, claimed range, bike weight, payload, tire size, and a class number are not printed. One size is listed for riders from 5 feet 7 inches to 6 feet 5 inches. The page does not say step-through.
A dash means the page left it out. The Air range dash is a missing single figure. The CGO800S battery dash is 36V 10.4Ah with no watt-hours. The AGO T range and weight dashes are figures the product page does not print. The CGO600 Pro belt is missing watts, torque, and a tire size.
How to choose without a test ride
If you can order a belt this week, the Air is the row, and 208.8Wh is the limit on the trip. If you want 37 pounds and a 53 mile claim and you can wait, the CGO600 Pro belt is the row that was empty. If you want a printed 20 mph cap and a belt, the CGO800S is the row, still without watt-hours. If you want a mid-drive, a belt, and a stepless hub, the AGO T is the row, at $2,699 and sold out, with no mile claim.

Accessories
A belt bike still needs a helmet, lights, and a lock. A belt does not replace any of those. We have not tested these on these bikes.

What we are not saying
Four belt listings from two brands, not every belt e-bike. We are not ranking by commission. The order is the bike you can order, then the sold-out 37 pound belt, the sold-out 20 mph belt, and the sold-out mid-drive. The Wayfarer is a cruiser with a chain. It stays in the touring guide.
