Try Decathlon wireless bike computers, probably cheapest in the market for the decent category, can't load to strava but gives you all readings you are looking for.

Every electric bike I’ve had, the interference generated by the motor itself prevented a wireless computer working. Per OldShep’s advice above, a wired computer will work great :okay:
 
I have a very cheap Sigma BC509 - out of production now but there are more recent versions
Only displays one function plus your speed - but easy enough to switch to display the other things

Wired and cheap - might be worth looking at?

The Velo 9 plays fine with electric bikes - coincidentally it’s the same model I have on mine!
Apologies for not recommending it specifically above.
