Is this a single-seater?

There was a single seater and a tandem seater with two seats in a row.

I cannot tell you which one we have here, but I think it may be the 2-seater tandem car.

The Wanderer was a huge car in comparison to this one, I´m sure.

And it is a decade younger.

It is, and yes - the shape is odd, indeed.

Is it a child's car or pedal car?

It may appear like a children´s car.

But times were hard after the lost WWI in Germany.
So this was of course another (failed) attempt to reach automobility for the masses.

Is it perhaps the german Koco, from about 1922?

It´s not the Koco.

This puzzle is driving me nuts!  I KNOW that I saw this picture while I was working on Wendax's recent Omikron puzzle, but now, after spending countless hours, I simply can't find it again.  I'm not going to give up yet, but to ease the pain, I need to ask a question.  Because I can't see a radiator, or air cooling vents, is this car electric?

I can't find a confirming photograph, but how about a: 1921/22 Kaha by Elektomobilwerke Kaha GmbH, Wasseralfingen, Germany?

Edit: Oh, never mind.  I just remembered to check the solved puzzles, and discovered Allemano's № 868.

Let's try instead for a: 1922 Omnobil.

It is indeed the 1922 Omnobil! Also built in the small town of Wasseralfingen.

The Omnobil was the successor to the Kaha.
