An electric bicycle from the bike-share company Lime burst into flames in the Rockaways, scorching a man’s leg.

The bicycle — part of the city’s dockless bike-share pilot program — overheated shortly after 8:45 p.m. Wednesday near Beach 79th Street and Rockaway Beach Boulevard, the FDNY said.

Videos posted to social media show the bright green ride spewing flames from a battery underneath its seat.

The unidentified victim, who suffered first-degree burns to his hamstring but refused medical attention, told arriving firefighters that the battery — which powers a motor that makes it easier to pedal — exploded.

Lime previously had to recall 2,000 electric scooters in October after bicycle batteries caught fire.

“After our investigation, we’ve concluded that this is an isolated incident in which someone attempted to forcibly break the bike lock with a sharp object, penetrating the well-protected small lithium battery that powers the lock,” said Lime spokesperson Russell Murphy.

“Our bikes are entirely safe when used properly, and we remind riders to respect the vehicles and that vandalism is dangerous and illegal.”

The company did not respond when asked whether it would seek to press charges in the incident.

The NYPD said it was not treating the alleged tampering as a criminal case.

Lime has operated a dockless bike-share pilot program in the Rockaways since 2018 that has grown to include 600 bikes. Their electric scooters, however, are not legal in New York City.

The company recalled 2,000 electric scooters from the streets of Los Angeles, San Diego and Lake Tahoe last October after batteries built by Chinese company Segway Ninebot spontaneously combusted.

Lime said that defect occurred in “several isolated instances” but that no one was injured ahead of the recall.

Full-on electric bikes are verboten in New York, but so-called pedal-assist rides such as Lime’s and Citibike’s are kosher.

Bike-share companies are constantly contending with thieves who try to snatch the bikes and the vandals who deface them.

A Citibike missing since September 2017 turned up in a Manhattan docking station in February — mysteriously covered in barnacles.

In 2015, a Brooklyn man made a four-month, 2,700-mile trek from New York to California on a Citibike — and incurred a $1,200 late fee for exceeding the service’s 45-minute time limit on rentals.
