Star Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard took the future of the franchise into his hands Thursday — whizzing through the streets of Manhattan on a Bird electric scooter with just his ponytail for head protection.

The 6-foot-6, Texas-born pitcher flashed a grin as he cut across lanes of traffic on busy West Houston Street in his SoHo neighborhood, risking life, limb and his $6 million arm.

Syndergaard, 27, appeared in good spirits days after dominating the Nationals on Labor Day — bouncing back from the worst start of his career to win the game 7-3 at Nationals Park.

His two-wheeled choice of transport was a gift from fellow Met Robinson Cano who surprised teammates with the customized electric scooters in August.

Existing state and city laws prohibit e-scooters in Manhattan, though lawmakers are in the process of legalizing the controversial devices.
