Creator's Key Takeaways

I couldn't find any information on how to do it.

It's simple to get it all put together. It does take some effort to get that motor out.

Once I got it installed, works perfect.

You are going to have to take it to your bike shop so they can get hook up into the system.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Make sure you get the correct components for your bike (11speed or 12speed).
โœ“Use the junction box to connect cables without running a long wire through the battery area.
โœ“Take the bike to a Shimano dealer for reprogramming after installation.

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Not a travel video I know! But I had the hardest time finding information on how to hook up the Di2 electronic shifter and derailleur on my new 2025 Orbea Rise LT H20 with the new Shimano EP6 motor, so here it is! The Di2 system on these new Shimano motors lets you use Auto-shifting and Free Shift, allowing you to shift without pedaling! Below are the parts i ordered including the tool to remove the chainring. The good thing is both the shifter and derailleur plug into the motor and run off the same E-Tube software AND the components are powered off the Main Bike Battery! YOU WILL HAVE TO TAKE THE BIKE TO A LOCAL SHIMANO DEALER TO FINISH SOFTWARE UPDATE TO THE BIKE! Here is a video showing how to drop the motor so you can run the cable and attach it to the motor - https://youtu.be/mrrB7JzRuPQ?si=idTWL-PI6tc7a1ho The parts I bought: Derailleur - https://amzn.to/4dHc1Vn Shifter - https://amzn.to/43F8l26 Cables (1 - 1200mm and 1 - 800mm size) - https://amzn.to/4kf6iss Cable Junction Connector - https://amzn.to/4dHcGWR Chainring remover - https://amzn.to/43GVlJm For the BEST Food centric vacations and travel adventures, check out Fire and Water Travel Services!
