So after testing some bikes out this weekend at Dalby hubfest both with wireless shifting I'm thinking of fitting it to mine
But not sure what I'll need is it just a case of a rear mech and shifter? I'm on a shimano rear cassette so thinking of di2
Thanks

I would get a sram axs upgrade kit. Ive got it on my bike and it shifts fantastic.

Gx axs upgrade kit, slx cassette and xtr chain. Shift fast, smooth

If your bike has a Bosch motor, that would be the way to go since Shimano di2 is compatible for powering the derailleur direct from the bikes main battery and has support for Auto and Freeshift functionality. SRAM is not yet supported by Bosch!

Yeah bosch motor gen 4 on a whyte e160, I'll look more in to the kit I've a shimano LINKGLIDE cassette 11 speed so I'd assume the di2 would be compatible or hope it is!!

Should be, I also had a 11 speed Linkglide 11-50 teeth and went for the cheapest upgrade the Cues Di2 derailleur and shifter though I have since changed the shifter to an XT version, much nicer and now not much more expensive if you shop around and easier on the hand than the Cues version.
Don't know if Ebike 24 trade in the UK but this link may give you an idea of what is available for Bosch retrofits. Note not all Di2 Derailleurs are compatible with Bosch so careful if you buy individual components as opposed to one of the retrofit kits!
