Problem, bike died

[benki]

Ok guys I know this is for Taishan mopeds, but I have a Piaggio zip. I used to talk here when my old taishan broke and I know your helpful so maybe someone can help.
Well the new bike I got (after my poor poor taishan was stolen) has broke. I was riding it then something broke, it seemed like something snaps or popped. Now when I try go it just revs, its fine, but when I rev and pull throttle back the engine revs but the back wheel doesnt move a inch.
Maybe its the gears, or whatever drives the back wheel from the engine I dont know.
Can anyone help please?

Sounds like the drive belt, they are usually easy to acquire and fit.
We told you not to buy foreign rubbish.

I dont know much about moped and there engines.
The drive belt, does that go from engine to gears or something?
Is it in that box near back wheel with the kick start on it?

I'm not sure about Piaggio's, but I expect that they will be the same. If you have a look at the following link, it will show you the belt that drives these Chinese scooters. There are usually no gears, (as in the conventional sense), the belt simply rises up and down a pulley to replicate the action of the gears.
