Have you ever found yourself struggling to open the trunk of your motorbike, especially when you’re new to owning one? Opening the trunk may seem like a simple task, but it can be quite frustrating for many people. In this article, we will provide you with precise instructions on how to open the trunk of different types of motorbikes.
A Step-by-Step Guide on How to Open the Trunk of a Scooter
Scooters like the Wave, Exciter, and Sirius often have a similar method to open their trunks. Generally, these scooters have small trunks that can only fit a raincoat or a small towel for wiping the seat. Opening the trunk of these scooters may take a bit longer compared to other models because the trunk lock is completely separate and usually located at the rear end of the bike.
To open the trunk of these scooters, follow these steps:
- Turn off the engine.
- Remove the key from the ignition lock.
- Insert the key into the trunk lock, located on the left side at the rear end of the bike.
- Open the trunk.
Opening the trunk in this way has a few limitations:
- You need to get off the bike to open the trunk.
- It’s common to forget the key in the trunk and not remember where you left it.

How to Open the Trunk of Your Motorbike When You Forget the Key
There are cases where you might forget or misplace your key inside the trunk of your scooter, such as the Honda Lead or Air Blade. So, how can you open the trunk without the key?
Don’t worry, opening the trunk of your scooter without the key is not as difficult as you might think. With a few simple tricks, you can quickly open the trunk.
Method 1: Opening the Trunk with a Small Metal Object
This solution can be used for most scooters.
Using a small iron rod to open the trunk.
To perform this method:
- Use a small metal object with a bend in the shape of an L. The L-shaped end should be about 0.5 – 1 cm long.
- Insert the metal object next to the Seat button, gently rotate it and pull it outward. When you hear a clicking sound, your trunk is open.
- After opening the trunk, carefully remove the metal rod.
Method 2: Opening the Trunk by Hand
If you can’t find a suitable small metal object or the previous method doesn’t work, you can try opening the trunk manually.
This method is also quite simple. Just reach your hand into the small gap between the Seat and the body of the scooter to find the connecting wire between the lock and the trunk. Gently pull the wire until you hear a “click” sound, indicating that the trunk is now open.
Alternatively, you can ask someone to lift the seat while you use your hand to reach inside the trunk and retrieve your belongings. However, this solution is only suitable for people with smaller hands.
Note: If you have lost your key or left it inside the trunk, it’s best to take your scooter to a nearby repair shop to have a professional locksmith open the lock to avoid damaging it.
