The juggernaut pulley was the best decision i ever made for mine. I haven't eaten a single belt in the year I've had my new pulley. Used to go through one every time I rode before the change.
Chains dont need to be taught like a belt does. They do not rely on traction to transmit energy, as the teeth-to-link connection of the chain to spoket does. This is especially important since it gets tighter as the suspension compresses due to the axel getting farther away from the engine as it arcs through its movement. Also, side-to-side alignment of the front and rear sprocket is vital, as is axel-to-motor squarness. Otherwise, even with proper tension, it may jump the sprocket still or cause excessive wear. Otherwise, cool use of a little Chinese quad! There are tons of go fast parts for the 212!
You're never gonna get the chain tight when the engine drive is sitting so much higher than the swing arm you need to put a jack-shaft that's in line with the swing arm ideally closest to the pivot point and then you can also play with gears they also make a 7" secondary pulley for the variable drive that'll lower your ratio give you more grunt. Some Verbal drives have multiple holes to mount to the engine if you can tilt the drive so the back pulley is more in line with the swing arm it would help solve your chain problem.
I noticed when I sit down on mine it tensions the chain even more and will pop out the chain so I left it a bit lose for when there is weight on the tao
on the og setup i had before the taotao when it was on a bike. i had a 520 14/50. when i put the engine on the taotao 4 wheeler it went to like a 10 to 46 or 40 with a 420 chain. its the stock rear for a 110cc taotao but the 10 tooth gear that came with my cvt. Was planning on changing them up again here soon

It can actually cause access wear if to taught
Nice little project ☺️
Dang that foot peg spot is crazy

Or, easier than that is adding a tensioner and guide on the swing arm just like a dirt bike

Really nice job 👍
Needs a chain tensioner on the bottom side
Sweet ride bud ,
Looks great ,Too cool 😃
What sprocket and chain did you use for this build?

is this from a 110cc chinese fame and what are the wheel sizes?
Yes it is and I’m not sure the wheel size off the top of my heaf
Dig hole push in, cover it up. 😮😮
It seems like it has no torque at all. Kinda worthless
