There are also the possibility of renting from private persons on Hygglo. Not sure if you can join as a foreign citizen, but quite cheap this one: https://www.hygglo.no/i/78d-gavia-eterra-elektrisk-gravellandevei-strl-l

Yes, there are loads of these in rural Norway. Are you looking for some specific one? I think I saw at least one on the Mjølkevegen route last year, but I know from experience that those are very typical. The more rural, the more likely you’ll stumble across them.

One thing to consider though: cash will most likely not be found in these. They’ll be requesting payment from Vipps (which is a Norwegian version of Venmo / Cash app), so tourists may be facing difficulty. Oh, and btw: I bought a plant from a shop in Kampen (close to downtown Oslo) last summer, in the middle of the night

I bought the Firelite from Mountain Equipment for this sole purpose: bikepacking in Norway (3 seasons). It packs into a compact lump and is incredibly light at between 700 and 800 grams: https://www.thegreatoutdoorsmag.com/review/mountain-equipment-firelite-review/

It sure did the trick in around 0 degrees without clothes inside, in the mountains close to Beitostølen. Haven’t tested in colder conditions, but no reason to doubt it. One thing to remember with down as opposed to synthetic bags, is to keep it dry. A wet down bag isn’t worth much.
