We did something like this.
We had 6' aluminum hubs, 2' wide. The belts were 1-sided 1' wide standard timing belts. The flat side faced the hub, notched side out. The belts were press-fit onto the hub. They are tight enough that they have yet to slip even the slightest bit.
The only problem we've had to date is too much traction. We ended up removing 1 belt from each of the front two wheels.
