American Got Talent Host; Simon Cowell Broke His Back While Riding His E-Bike.

Simon Cowell was taking a ride in his estate on his newly purchased electric bike, he crashed and broke his back.

Simon was tooling around his Malibu estate Saturday on his new bike, apparently trying to get the hang of it, when he fell to the ground and seriously injured himself.

Cowell was taken to a nearby hospital and will undergo surgery.

In a very British statement, his rep said, "Simon had a fall from his bike on Saturday afternoon whilst testing his new electric bike in the courtyard at his house in Malibu with his family."

Electric bikes can go as fast as 28 MPH at full-throttle, and peddling makes it go even faster.
