My main goal is to tinker, but I would need to learn how to use all the tools, I could just go to my local TAFE (community college) and do some courses there, they have courses on everything I would need to do (electrics, car restoration, welding, etc)
For performance, it would just be used for a 5-minute (each way) commute to work/the gym, therefore it wouldn't need to go too fast, but the reason I thought about the pedal/electric path afterwards, was that I would need to get to about 60-70km/h. (37-47mph)

By the way, when talking about the dust storms and weather, I was talking about climate change being a big issue, the weather is not the reason to build the car, the small difference that I make to the environment is one of the reasons.
