That makes little sense as legal assisted speed limit is 25m/h
It is continuous rated power as specified by manufacturer to be precise or rated power for short. If you say continuous 250W, people can come to wrong conclusions and think motor is providing 250W all the time - which is not true.
A bit like the VW 'dieselgate' scandal. Do tests and then publish whatever lies you like.
If you've done this modification, why don't you share it? Which firmware did you use and which exact settings?
You should have asked them.
There's one OSF firmware replacement project I am aware of for BBSHD and BBS02B - the same project also replaces TSDZ2 firmware, but there's nothing for the BBS01B...
However, don't you have to be able to turn the pedals to activate the PAS which enables the option of concurrent throttle? Provided you stop on a low gear, it's easy to get moving on my throttleless bike. After unanticipated stops on level road, I've managed to activate the PAS on my highest gear 52T>11T, by standing on the pedals. Mind you, I rarely stray from Level 9, which is 100% "Keep current" at 18A (648W), which is lot driving a 20" wheel. Of course I'd prefer a legal throttle, but Sunak has killed that hope off with his early resignation. I expect this DaFt consultation has now been kicked into the long grass. I think Labour is more likely to focus on public transport.
What do you mean by concurrent throttle? The only thing that matters for legal compliance is whether its operation is dependent on pedalling or independent. Do you have a throttle, and is it dependent?There's one OSF firmware replacement project I am aware of for BBSHD and BBS02B - the same project also replaces TSDZ2 firmware, but there's nothing for the BBS01B...

Smarter regulation: proposed changes to legislation for electrically assisted pedal cycles
Seeks views on proposed changes to the regulations on electrically assisted pedal cycles (EAPCs or e-cycles).www.gov.uk
Nope, no throttle because there's no way to make it legal. The throttle operates independently of pedal assist, can't be made to operate concurrently exclusively with PAS on the BBS01B. There's no OSF fix for the BBS01B. Ideally, I want the non-pedalling throttle speed limited to UK legal 6km/h, until pedal assist, at which point the throttle's speed limit with pedalling is increased to the UK legal 25km/h speed limit. But as I said, I'm quite happy without a throttle.
This was my belief, but Voltsnamps says that's misinformation. He will provide details to show how it can be done.
That dude's probably got BBSHDs and BBS02Bs. OSF for those motors is relatively new:

I've been through all that stuff and just about every forum post discussing it, but I don't find anywhere someone that says they have a legally operating throttle or anyone saying how to do it. We must await the info from Voltsnamps. He will explain.That dude's probably got BBSHDs and BBS02Bs. OSF for those motors is relatively new:
BBS-FW: Open Source Firmware for BBSHD/BBS02 Controller
This open source project is finally ready for release! This firmware is intended to replace the original Bafang firmware on BBSHD/BBS02 motor controllers and can be flashed using the standard programming cable. Almost all functionality of original firmware has been reimplemented and additional...
Sorry to hear that. Strange policy they have.
You can see what's involved in changing the chain by buying a new one and looking at what arrives. Practice putting the quick link together, and separating it, and that's one big step under your control.
You have two bikes. In unlikely scenario when something go wrong, you can use one and take another to mechanic later.
It is easy when you have right tools. What you need is a quick link with you all the time. Anticipate what can go wrong on a trip like that and take stuff with you to quick fix common faults. Spare inner tube, quick link, pump etc.
No, you don't always change chain and cassette together.
Watch few. It helps.

Done that, one is in for repair now under guarantee

As for punctures that is one thing I am 100% OK on
No, you don't always change chain and cassette together.
What cable are you talking about? I have never changed any cables during routine maintenance.
Gear cable, I was told better to replace as they are cheap
Watch few. It helps.
Or better check if there is a bike charity nearby. They organize courses and teach bike maintenance.
You can buy rubbish cheap bike and train on it.
Not a bad idea
I got progressively more brutal with the tightening of that nut combo, to the point where it hasn't needed tightening for over three years. Both nuts have to be tightened, the one underneath tightened most.
