Cool, I'll keep that in mind then. It doesn't seem to have mounts for a rear rack though, which is fairly weird IMO.
What other component swaps would be most urgent in your opinion? I was mostly thinking tyres and handlebar gribs, but maybe the cassette aswell.

it's not designed for racks, but for bikepacking bags
i'd say:
carbon bars and seatpost (decathon do these cheap)
pedals
grips
and that wide range sunrace cassette which is mega good -
Don’t know how tall your girlfriend is but just to mention for fitting purposes, specially if you’re gonna get it shipped to Denmark, that the standover height on an Small Marin Pine is about 5cm higher than on a Medium Kona Unit.
You might encounter the same difference between other brands.

no! it's great value, with a few easy component swaps you could have a great ride. wouldn't say it would be perfect for tarmac tho.
