    Hi @JJJ and a very warm welcome to the community! I have researched the chair and believe it is to hold luggage. Here is a picture from the PDF guide:

    Hi @JJJ

    I've checked out the parts manuals for your model of chair and there is no hint of anything like this. The fact that the clamps are over the top of the safety stickers also suggests that it is an after-market addition. It is difficult to tell from your photo but I think it might simply be a 'rear bumper' to provide additional protection to the battery. I've tried to find this product online, without success, but that would be my best guess at this time.

    Best Wishes
