During these recent years, more and more scooter models were introduced in Malaysia. However, Kawasaki never produce any scooters, therefore Modenas had to source from a Taiwanese scooter company for the technology transfer. However, Modenas had to improve the quality of the scooter by itself due to poor quality of Taiwan-made scooters.

The earliest production batches suffered poor handling, and after some improvements the handling of this model became better and Modenas Karisma dominmates the Malaysian scooter market since 2004.
Elit
On August 2003, Modenas launched three models at once in order to face the fierce competition of Malaysian scooter market with imported cheap models from China and Taiwan, where most of Chinese and Taiwanese motorcycles and scooters suffer poor quality and reliability.

Modenas Elit scooter was launched as an alternative to Karisma model, comes with two displacement choices - 125 cc model and the larger, more powerful 150 cc model.
