Geha was a German automobile brand that operated from 1910 to 1923, primarily known for its electric three-wheeled vehicles. The company originated as Elektromobilfabrik Gebhardt & Harhorn, based in Berlin-Schöneberg. It was founded by Victor Harhorn and his partner, Gebhardt, who combined their names to create the brand.

The Geha vehicles featured a distinctive design, characterized by a single front wheel and a 1.8 kW motor that was integrated into the front wheel hub. This innovative design allowed for both passenger and goods-carrying versions of the three-wheeler. Harhorn had previously designed another front-drive three-wheeler known as the B.E.F., which contributed to his expertise in this niche market.

In 1917, the production of Geha vehicles was taken over by Elitewerke AG, which continued to manufacture the electric three-wheelers until 1923. During this period, four-wheeled vehicles were also marketed under the Elite name, expanding the company's offerings beyond the original Geha models. The brand ultimately ceased operations in the early 1920s, marking the end of its contribution to the early electric vehicle market.
