    I’m only going to scroll so far through your post history and I didn’t see your explanation, so sorry for making you repeat yourself. That said, I think solo is the wrong word for it if they’re explicitly there so you aren’t alone. Just say you’re on a trip, there’s no shame in that.

    You can emphasize that you’re on your first trip without your parents, that’s still a pretty big step towards independence, but I’m going to fixate a little too hard on it being a solo trip you’re taking with friends.

    I don’t know, is it really a solo trip if you’re with 2 other people? Something isn’t adding up here. What does solo even mean when there are 2 others hanging around?

    And if I already have this many questions, then who knows? Why can’t those two guys be your parents? Maybe you aren’t on a solo trip at all, you’re on a trip with two other guys.




  • Those aren’t e-bikes by any legal definition, they just look like e-bikes because they have some technically functional pedals.

    E-bikes are categorized into three primary groups based on factors such as motor power, availability of pedal and/or throttle assist and maximum speeds. Familiarizing yourself with the e-bike class allows you to anticipate its performance characteristics. Depending on the class, certain areas may permit riding a Class 1 e-bike while prohibiting the use of a Class 3 e-bike for instance. These regulations vary across states with many states having their own e-bike classifications or lack thereof. California, for example, has legislation specifying three e-bike classes. There are generally accepted definitions for e-bike classes, and we provide an overview of these standard classifications below.

    Class 1

    A Class 1 e-bike, also known as a pedelec, relies on pedaling to propel forward. It features pedal assist but lacks throttle assist, limiting its speed to a maximum of 20 miles per hour. In most cases, Class 1 e-bikes are permitted in the same areas as traditional bicycles such as bike paths and bike lanes. However, the specific regulations governing their usage depend on local government ordinances.

    Class 2

    Class 2 e-bikes offer both pedal assist and throttle assist, allowing them to move forward even without pedaling. Generally, Class 2 e-bikes are not designed to exceed 20 mph. Many jurisdictions allow the use of Class 2 e-bikes on conventional bike paths and lanes.

    Class 3

    Class 3 e-bikes are slightly faster, reaching speeds of up to 28 mph. They often come equipped with a speedometer, which may be required in certain states like California. Class 3 e-bikes are typically permitted on roads and designated bike-only shoulder lanes. However, due to their higher power output, they are generally not allowed on standard bike lanes, paths or trails.

  • “The possible possibility” -> “The possibility” As someone else said, it’s just redundant here.

    The first meaning of possibility relates to chance/probability whereas the second relates to ability/capability/feasibility

    This is simply untrue, possibility doesn’t relate to probability except in a very binary yes/no, something is possible.

    “It’s not necessarily necessary for you to wear a tie to the meeting, they might not care.” -> It’s not always necessary…

    “The maybe necessity” -> The necessity of blank is still being debated

    “It’s maybe not necessary” -> it may not be necessary

    The second one would depend on the context, you could change things around or describe the uncertainty in other ways. The third one I think you’re just getting too stuck on a particular order for these words you want to use.
