The Dragon is an electric vehicle to serve as a personal tractor for farm workers doing hand work in the field. It provides a low seating position on a special seat to enable comfortable access to low growing crops. It is narrow such that it fits in a row space wide enough for a human worker. It is stabilized by the effects of a wide hard wheel that provides a stabilizing wide stance, while the wide and large wheel provides a large footprint that enables highly efficient operation in soft dirt. This is an ideal electric vehicle application where inexpensive lead acid batteries are sufficient for its low speed operation.
