Abstract
A belt tensioner for use with a bike is provided. The bike includes a frame and a belt. The frame includes a chain stay and a seat stay having a top surface and bottom surface. The belt tensioner includes a tensioner skeleton, a roller and a tension regulator. The tensioner skeleton is pivotally connected to the chain stay or the seat stay. An included angle is formed between the tensioner skeleton and chain stay or the seat stay. The roller is pivotally connected to the tensioner skeleton and in contact with the belt. The tension regulator presses against the belt to adjust tension of the belt. The tension regulator is disposed at an end of the tensioner skeleton, and the end of the tensioner skeleton is positioned distal to the bottom surface.
