Never heard of a Jenson…
 
Hello,

Neighbor 2 days ago asked if I wanted a free folder, why yes I said. “Come by tomorrow morning a get it”.

He didn’t know what brand it was” Just some old folder”!
visions of a classic Dahon kept me company that night.
little crestfallen but still happy to receive this.

24” wheeled variety.
not that old I guess, busted brake and shift mechanisms, rusty chain and stamped steel V- brakes.

I have all the parts that need replacing in my bins. I don’t see it becoming anything special but might use it awhile then give it away.

LoL!!! No problem...but you DID make the beginning of my afternoon enjoyable with your comeback! :roflmao:

Jetson makes ebikes and electric scooter nowadays, so this is an old, discontinued folder. It's a good beater if had for cheap (and I do mean CHEAP!). I had looked at purchasing one years ago, but went with a different brand.

Amber reflectors makes me think this one was setup for sale in Canada.

Thanks for the understanding and info.

It will be a cheap rehab for sure since everything is coming out of the parts bin.

Right now I have it stripped of most components. The stem’s wedge was rusted solid in the steer tube but managed to free it up.
Will do a reveal after I get back from Thanksgiving travels.

Hoping everyone does have a happy Turkey Day!

Most folks don't remember that Geroge Jetson's flying car was a folder! It folded into a briefcase, light enough to carry one handed.

I don't think that your neighbor likes you.

But, it was free and you can have some fun with it.

that looks fun, especially at that price.
