Originally, it means the literal back of an animal (usually a horse). In order for you to ride a horse, you have to mount on its "garupa". Following the same logic, this word applies to vehicles such as motorcycles and bicycles, as the position you ride them resembles the one when you ride a horse.
Hope that was helpful!

It’s the "backseat" of a bike or a motorcycle (or anything that you "ride" like a horse).
