![]() “It’s like trying to control a wild horse rearing up.”Īs per the insider, the EB-01 has three riding modes, with the third offering the most torque, accessible right away. “That thing is a death trap and should never have been sold to Simon without him being taught how to use it,” says the insider, who claims he repeatedly tried to tell bosses to not send the e-bike over to Cowell without calling him in for training – a request they denied. His argument is that Swindon shouldn’t have sold him the e-bike without training and is based on the words of a company whistleblower now speaking to the media. He will probably never ride again, but that’s another story.Ī “death trap” in inexperienced hands Now that he’s ok, Cowell is also thinking of ways to make up for his terrible 2020 and one of them implies taking the maker of the EB-01 to court over medical bills, loss of income and damages for the pain he’s suffered. He is able to walk and, though he’s still experiencing some pain and discomfort, he will make a full recovery. The silver lining is that, by all accounts, Cowell is ok. Many feared that he might never be able to walk again, and perhaps just as many believed his age (Cowell is 61 years old) would definitely have a say in his recovery. He broke three vertebrae, was more than six hours in surgery and was left unable to walk for almost two months, during which time he required plenty of therapy, painkillers and even had a live-in nurse to help him out with daily chores. The fall was no joke, to be sure: Cowell was just about to take the e-bike on a first test ride, accidentally hit torque and popped a wheelie, and was thrown onto his back. Word is out that Simon Cowell, Great Britain’s most famous export, a very successful and rich music mogul and charming television personality, is weighing his options and considering legal action against Swindon Powertrain, which sells the Swind EB-01 e-bike from which he fell last August.
