Months after he was nearly paralyzed in an electric bike accident, “America’s Got Talent” judge Simon Cowell is reportedly considering filing a lawsuit against the company that sold him the high-powered two-wheeler.

A former employee of the company Swind, which manufactures the EB-01 bike Cowell was flung from back in August, told The Sun that the television personality is weighing legal action that could seek up to $10 million in damages. Cowell was left with a broken back in three places after he crashed while riding the $20,000 bike outside his Malibu mansion. He then had to undergo a six-hour surgery to repair his spine, and doctors inserted a metal rod into his back.

The Swind source said that this entire incident could have been avoided.

“That thing is a death trap and should never have been sold to Simon without him being taught how to use it,” the source explained. “I said to my boss, ‘Are you showing Simon how to use this?’ He said he was just dropping it off and I said, ‘Are you serious?’”

The electric bike can reach a speed up to 60 mph, making it closer to a motorcycle than a traditional e-bike.

“They knew at the ­factory this was extremely dangerous and it was discussed,” the source said. “The only way to stop the bike flipping is to put your whole body over the front wheel.”

“The first thing someone with no training is going to do is squeeze that accelerator and they are going to have an accident. When I heard about the crash, I knew straight away he had been on our bike,” added the insider. “I was wracked with guilt and thought I could have said more — but was worried about my job. I said they should change the settings so you can’t go into the highest map until it is going a certain speed — but was just told that was the way it was.”

A spokesperson for Cowell released a brief statement in response, saying, “Simon is understandably extremely concerned for other peoples’ safety in relation to this bike. We’ve been pressing the manufacturer about this and will continue to press them, including in relation to the claims of the former member of staff.”
