As of this date, the KS-8 series have NOT been tested for safety in collisions
according to ISO 7176-19. Therefore, the KS-8 series cannot be used as seats in any
vehicles. This is KARMA recommends that users are NOT transported in any vehicle
while seated in the scooter. In the case of accident or a sudden stop, the user could
be thrown from the scooter and get injured. The suggested solution is to transfer the
user from the scooter into a normal seat of the vehicle and to securely stow the
scooter in a separate compartment.
