Rog Sport? Anyone know anything about them?

I've been watching Craigslist for an old folder to fix up for my wife. This bike, a Rog Sport (made in Ljubljana?), pops up, which is something I've never heard of, but it's got a standard, older folder look, and it's priced at $15, so there's not much to lose. I'm just wondering what experience anyone has (if any) with this model bike or something similar. It appears to ride okay, but I think the bottom bracket might needs some work. 3-speed hub/coaster brake shifts fine, but it doesn't stop great. The hub is not Sturmey-Archer. I think it's Shimano. Did they make a 3 speed hub? It shifts from the non-drive side, which is different from any IGHs I've seen. Or at least I've never noticed any that have shifters hooked up on that side.

Here's the pics:
