A lawyer claims that a successful lawsuit could lead to a £ 10 million sum for medical bills and loss of earnings to Simon, reports The Sun.

According to a rumor from the manufacturers, the £ 20,000 electric bike is an ‘accident waiting to happen’ due to Simon’s lack of training.

He told the publication: “It would never have been sold to Simon without him being taught how to use it.”

The former employee claims that the Swind EB-01 bike, which can take up to 60 km / h and is banned on public roads in the UK, may not be used without specialist training.

The accident occurred when the powerful machine ‘flew up in the air and did an accident’ after trying to change gears. The music boss was presumably ‘surprised by the power’ of the bike and immediately knew he was ‘in trouble’.

After the accident, Simon tweeted: Some good advice … If you are buying an electric tow bike, read the manual before riding for the first time. I broke a part of my back. Thank you to everyone for your kind messages. ‘

He adds in a second tweet: ‘And many thanks to all the nurses and doctors. Some of the nicest people I have ever met. Stay safe everyone Simon. ‘
