standstill may cause whiplash! Seriously though, this scooter has the potential for
sudden acceleration that may lead to injuries or accidents. Play it safe and please
accelerate slowly while driving carefully.

Due to the higher speeds of this KS-800 series scooter, be careful not to make too tight
of a turn. Hard turns at high speeds may cause your scooter to roll or tip. Karma is not
responsible or liable for reckless driving by end-users.

the vehicle.
◎
Come to a complete stop before turning the ignition OFF.

Remove the key from the ignition for safety reasons.
CAUTION
:
The stopping distance will vary with your forward/reverse speed. Therefore,

obstacles or danger.
To park the scooter, be sure to park on flat ground and then turn the ignition to OFF
