Sizes: Sm (w), Regular, Large (see bottom for details on sizing)

Frame ALUXX Grade Aluminum (race bred technology - ALUXX VIDEO)

Fork: Rigid Alloy (the 38c width tires will cushion much of the road buzz)

Handlebar: Alloy Low Rise

Seatpost: Alloy micro-adjust 27.2 (not sure of overall length)

Saddle: Giant Comfort Groove  (appears there is a specific saddle for men, and another for women)

Brake levers: Tektro alloy with Kraton insert and reach adjustment (important for small hands)

Front hub: Sanyo Syncdrive 250W Motor (plenty for most people) with pedal assist system (PAS) only - no throttle.  Top assisted speed 15 mph

Rear Cassette: Shimano 7-speed 11-28 (if you must climb hills that the 28 tooth gear cannot climb with the motor's help, then you may need to change the rear cassette to a 32 or 34 tooth large gear)

Rear Derailleur:  Shimano Tourney

Cranks: Alloy 3-piece, 46Tooth front chainring  (can be changed to 40 or 42 tooth if there are large hills or carrying additional weight)

Bottom Bracket: Cartridge (good for commuting as it should be water resistant)

Rims: Alloy Double Wall 36Hole

Spokes: Stainless Steel 14G

Tires: Kenda 700x35 w/Slime-filled Inner Tubes (make sure to check tire pressure weekly - read range on sidewall - hint: the tire rolls easier when at the maximum pressure, but has less of a cushion effect)

Extras: Rear alloy rack w/storage case & EnergyPak (battery) lock, Fenders, Kickstand, Bell
