That thing looks slick AF ๐
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

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

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
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.
You're right, I thought they were absent due to the geometry of the bike.
That's an interesting bicycle! Looks to be priced at 2800 EUR, which is pretty good all things considered.
