Recently homologated for Europe, the Norster 600R is a quad bike, designed by a Finnish company, that actually performs like a small sports car. Built in China, the 2-seater can be driven by anybody with a standard driver’s license.

Norster is homologated as a “quad” inside European Union, but all the controls are like in a normal car. The body is made of hand laminated glass fibre, while the doors open vertically for easy access in and out. The motor cover opens with the help of an electric motor.

According to Autoblog, powering the Norster 600R is a 580cc from Chery Acteco, which features double overhead cams, electronic fuel injection and 4-valves per cylinder, and is capable of developing 34 hp at 5,500 rpm. The sports car comes fitted with a 5-speed gearbox as standard. Norster 600R meets EURO IV emission standards.

Norster is built on a strong race car like steel tube frame and includes 4-point safety belts for the driver and the passenger.

“Norster is fun to drive on winding roads. It is small, it is nimble and agile. There are double A-arms and anti sway bars both front and rear. The engine is located in the middle of the car. Just like in those exotic sports cars," a company statement reads.

The company also says it is currently working on developing a roof for Norster. It will be a simple removable canvas top, which gives protection against sunshine and some light rain. The roof will be available as an accessory and can be retrofitted afterwards.
