Right now I have a gas/ethanol powered motorcycle. I eventually want to build an electric car. My budget is small but I want this to be an evolution, one so I can learn, and two so I can take little bites out of the final cost.

Start with the bike, streamline it, add a side car, make it electric, streamline it again, find a donor car, move the electric parts to the car and streamline that [Unless it's a classic, then I might just do a riveted boat tail or something and keep it classy.]

By massive overkill are you meaning based purely on weight or power too?
