Haven't bothered looking for the spec's but the rear hub is an IGH, looks like a Shimano 8speed. I too would want to see fenders and some other colour options. However I am pleased to see it comes equipped with lights and a dyno hub. The small wheels shouldn't be a problem as far as ride quality, I routinely ride on small wheeled bikes and the ride isn't any worse than on my larger bikes under most conditions. The small wheels help keep the overall size of the bike down making it lighter and keeping it compact for storage.
The overall package is extremely well thought out and executed. The designer obviously has some cycling experience or listened to someone that does.
