Simon Cowell recovering from near six-hour surgery after scary e-bike crash

[RoadieRoger]

If the Manual was like the ones supplied with my Ebikes here , it would have taken him all of 1 minute to read . Even then they only had a few technical details . They didn`t tell you how to recover successfully from a 360 degree backward flip .

When learning to ride a motorcycle we were told the 70 30 rule, 70% on the front brake 30% on the rear.

Yes probs good guidance ^

Main reason I use both brakes is because my back brakes work inside back hub of bike
and tends to slows me down , but wont brake dead to a standstill which a don't want

but I also slight grip on both brakes which eases me to a stop or to slow down
when needed .

Hmmm! 15kw motor - great! It's 1.75 kwh battery will last for 7 minutes at full power with a range of 7 miles. That would be a very frustrating bike to own. At least you'd get plenty of exercise pedalling it home.

I think you're supposed to ride it up the nearest mountain and just freewheel back when the battery quits. For Everest you may need a spare battery.

I think this guy explains exactly what sort of bike it was, ie a motorbike, not a pedelec.

As reported here now:

Cowell’s accident was on an electric motorbike, say BA – Pedelecs – Electric Bike Community

Further proof that wealth and intelligence are not always related.
