That thing looks slick AF 😍
Admittedly a bit sporty for me though, nowhere to attach a pannier rack for shopping or make it a bit more practical from a utility perspective
- Why wouldn't you be able to add a rack? You just need the size of the tire. It goes on the bolts that hold on the back tire.
  Edit: waaaaaait, I just noticed it
  Found a solution, though: https://aeroe.com/products/spider-pannier-rack
  
  You can totally install a standard rack, the bike frame has the standard holes, it looks like.
- That bike has pannier mounts. Look at the hole near the wheel and the hole near the seat tube.
  
  Just had another look - looks like you are right! Initially I thought the mounting points near the seat tube were unthreaded, but it seems the threads are actually recessed quite deep inside
That's an interesting bicycle! Looks to be priced at 2800 EUR, which is pretty good all things considered.
the handle bars need to be above the seat or else I get back problems from the bent over posture.
