What motorcycles do you offer for rent and why?
We specialize in adventure-ready Royal Enfield motorcycles, perfect for Norway’s diverse terrain. Norway has limited highways and is all about scenic routes, winding roads, and lower speed limits. Because of this, massive 1100cc+ touring bikes aren’t, in our humble opinion, the best choice. Instead, we believe a mid-range, comfortable, and agile motorcycles are the ideal option for fully enjoying the landscapes without unnecessary bulk or cost.
How does Nordic Riders rental process work?
Counted by Day: Rentals are charged per day.
Flexible Pickup and Return: Pick-up and drop-off at your chosen, pre-aligned time, possible between 9:00-17:00.

What is included in your daily rental rate?
All our daily rental rates already include:

This is a very high (and for Norway unusual) package of perks already included in the daily rental rate.
