Some folks put 'em on scooters with CVT's but it can be problematic.
When a rubber belt breaks, it just breaks. When Kevlar belts go. they come apart in some very undesirable ways. I've seen all manner of damage done to clutches and variators on scooters from Kevlar belts shredding.

It may not be an issue since our belts aren't inside a CVT but I wouldn't take a chance.
If it ain't broke...
