The Ikea bike was the big opportunity for belt drive to break into the mainstream imo... it shit the bed. There were reports of Ikea scrapping containers and containers worth of bikes. I doubt there’s many bike brands prepared to take the gamble after such a big, public failure. Shame really but I think beltdrive has always been somewhat over-sold.
