Brand Data

Berliner Elektromobilfabrik GmbH was a German automobile manufacturer based in Berlin, active from 1907 to 1913. The company specialized in the production of electric vehicles, notably a three-wheeled model designed by Victor Harhorn. This vehicle featured a 4-horsepower motor that was mounted above the vehicle and drove the single front wheel through a vertical shaft connected to the hub.

In addition to the three-wheeler, Harhorn also developed a more advanced model known as the GEHA, which incorporated the motor directly into the hub of the wheel. This innovative design represented an early attempt to integrate electric propulsion into vehicle architecture, showcasing the technological advancements of the time.
