EDIT: you are right!

I know it looks like one, but those are from the UK!

Yes, they are powered electrically.

Do I understand correctly from your reply #4 that this vehicle(s) was/were manufactured in the UK?

EDIT: no...

Right.

4popoid

Is this a Swiss Tribelhorn, which was also manufactured in the UK?

grobmotorix

I do not know of a connection of Tribelhorn to this company.


4popoid

Were these vehicles manufactured after WWI?

EDIT: GeHa did produce between 1910-1923.

Those were built shortly before WW1, but I do not have more knowledge about this company.

I did some research and found this text:

QuoteThe heaviest of these parcelcars is made by Gebhardt and Harhorn of Berlin. The lighter models are the product of the Berliner Electromobil Fabrik, also of Berlin. The Torpedo Motor Co., Hampstead Road, N.W., are the English agents for both the machines

So I think Wendax deserves a point for this.

I really thought it was a UK replica as my source told me:
