Веломобиль против бордюров Минска: тест-драйв на 80 км и обзор БЕЛАГРО-2026

In this video, I set off on a journey of over 80 km on my homemade electric velomobile, the "Nine," to attend the BELAGRO-2026 exhibition. Along the way, we'll test the range on old batteries, see how the three-wheeled trike performs on Minsk curbs and bike paths, and encounter an unexpected breakdown—a broken chain. Also in the video: a brief overview of new agricultural machinery (BelAZ, MTZ, Amkodor) and my honest thoughts on the future of domestic production and the differences between urban and rural civilizations.
