I'm sure a few others will chime in, but pretty sure that OEM is a bando. If you open it up and take a look there might still be some printing on the old belt, assuming it's the original anyway.
https://www.partsforscooters.com/106-121-Bando-Belt-781-20-30-Kevlar for instance.

There are probably some aftermarket ones that'll work too.  Stick with the big names and you'll most likely be fine.
Some peeps may flame me on that, but I ran a Malossi or a Dunlop on about half a cannonball on my S200 then added another thousand to it before selling it.  It was still fine.
The Bando's still cheap enough these days though.

Probably a good idea to check the rollers and the affiliated little sliders (not to be confused with the sliders you can use instead of rollers) on the ramp plate.
I'd just change 'em out personally.  Maybe drop a gram on your rollers, possibly try DP sliders vs. rollers. 
The DP sliders I installed on my S helped a bit, definitely with an acceleration dead spot it had,  but I really should have dropped a gram as well. 
I did that on my SYM and it cut my mpg a tad but well worth it.  I have 1 gram lighter rollers on my other SYM.  It grabs quicker than the sliders and has a bit more acceleration, but is not as smooth.
This thread talks about that a bit regarding the People 150 specifically.  Looking like 18X14 - 15g is stock per one post
https://www.kymcoforum.com/index.php?topic=1966.0
and per this handy chart

How many miles on the bike?

The names “Bando” and “Kymco” are both printed on my 2009 Agility’s belt - so I guess Bando might be the manufacturer of “genuine” Kymco belts.

Life is a journey. Just spend some time, and enjoy the trip.

Correct. If any doubts or over your skill set you can have a Kymco dealer change it out or scooter/motorcycle dealer change it out. You will need the proper tools a torque wrench along with a variator tool to keep it from turning when you torque the nuts down.  If you do not torque it properly you can cause damage if the variator comes loose.
In parts 200S and Grand Vista and my motorcycles 2 CS BMW'S and one GS BMW.

Sold-32 Kymco scooters of various sizes this summer.

If I go to a motorcycle/scooter store will they have belts for it ? Or is Amazon my best bet?

Whatever works best economically and in terms of delivery for ya.
In my neck 'o the wold Amazon rules.  I can get things delivered to nearby lockers and such so I don't have to worry about porch pirates so much.
Elsewhere?  Your results may vary.  Depends on what they use for delivery.  Here..UPS has been pretty dubious & the USPS rocks if not going with Amazon.

Why not call a nearby Kymco dealer? They may have in stock or may have to order. You will be getting an OEM part
