Then, once he had it delivered, without as much as giving the owner’s manual a cursory glance, he hopped on it and hit torque, which sent him flying on his back. Before the purchase, he spent more than half an hour at the booth, inquiring about it. That said, it comes with power settings that allow you to customize your rides according to your level of skill, and that’s something you should probably remember for what comes next.Ĭowell saw the EB-01 at an e-bike show in his home country, and he liked it so much that he bought it and had it shipped to the U.S., according to reports. It’s a full-suspension, high-tech trail bike that you can only ride-why, yes!-on trails. It packs a 15 kW (20 hp) motor, 60 times more powerful than anything you can find on any legal e-bike in Europe.
Even for the U.S., which allows more powerful 750 W motor versions to be ridden without permits (Europe is more strict on that, capping them at 250 W), the EB-01 is a monster. The accident itself occurred in the driveway of his Malibu mansion, right after he’d unpacked his new e-bike, a Swind EB-01, marketed as the most powerful e-bike in the world. For the record, after surgery and professional care, Cowell’s recovery was amazing: he was walking after two months and jet-skiing after four. He is also being foolish right now.Ĭowell sat down for a talk with TMZ Live, which marks the first time he goes into the details of the bike accident that left his spine shattered in three pieces and doctors telling his family he might not walk again. He’s a millionaire living the life, a bona fide celebrity. He is and has been for years Britain’s most famous export to the U.S. He’s sarcastic and mean and he makes for great TV and soundbites. He’s a fascinating TV personality because of his British humor and take-no-nonsense attitude.
Simon Cowell is a lot of things: he’s the mastermind behind some of the most successful music acts in both the UK and the U.S.
