76 Brutecycle Para 3 wheeler

[Coyote47]

I have a 76 Brute cycle 3 wheeler. Looking for info on how many were made and what they are worth. It's not perfect cause it spent time sitting out in the weather. Was made in Fairmont Minnesota by Lake Sports inc

There are a few pic of a brute in the Media section. https://www.oldminibikes.com/forum/index.php?media/categories/trikes.1553/ It was owned/posted by member: Viking Fan. However, he has not been active for some time. There is some limited information, on some of the three wheeler sites and a few more pictures if you search. But I found nothing to indicate any recent activity or interest. What it's worth is an issue between the buyer and the seller. Pricing and value are subjects not readily approached here.

I have the manual and broshure for it. I plan on adding it to my site Threewheelermanuals.com
In the near future.

If I remember I will let you know.

I have a 1976 brutecycle 3 wheeler. My wife drove it till the drive chain actually broke and fell off. Does anyone know what basic size chain i need to order to fix her fun little ride?

Measure the pitch of whatever is left of the chain, or the sprocket teeth. .375" is #35 chain, while .500" is #40 or #41. We like the #40 because it's a tad wider than the #41 and more forgiving as far as side to side alignment.

Pitch: Pin to pin on the chain, or tooth to tooth on the sprocket.

Was his old enough to be built by Milt Zenk? Or did you make them for him?

Dunno, I just aquired the documents, and they are in the pile to be scanned. I could prioritize it when I get home from my shift work in camp.

I will be getting around to scanning these later in the week...

I would say judging by the fiberglass it is a brutecycle. It looks like the decals have worn off but I would say with almost certainty it’s a Brute from Fairmont
