They’re taking cellphone owners for a ride.

Two bike-riding bandits have been snatching smartphones from the hands of unsuspecting pedestrians in Midtown for the past month, cops said.

The rolling plunder has so far claimed eight victims, all pedestrians in the lower 40s around Times Square.

In the most recent ride-by incident on April 15, a 45-year-old woman lost her iPhone to the pair while walking at the southern end of Times Square, at Seventh Avenue at West 42nd Street around 10:30 p.m.

Fiften minutes later, the crooks also swiped an iPhone from a man, 22, sitting in his parked car with the window down in front of 5 East 42nd St., police said.

On April 10, the duo yanked the phone away from a woman who was strolling along Broadway at West 35th Street just after midnight.

Cops released surveillance images of the two thieves, believed to be between 30 and 35 years old.

Midtown resident Stephen Beckman, 39, told The Post his close friend experienced an abrupt phonejacking by a thief on wheels near 42nd Street and 6th Avenue last year.

His buddy was victimized while hailing a cab on a rainy day.

“A messenger rode by, had the green light, grabbed the phone [from his hand] and kept going,” Beckman told The Post. “It’s terrible. No one has the right to violate another person.”

Beckman isn’t surprised by the trend. “It’s like candy in the candy store. People are oblivious — they are in their own little bubble. You just have to be cautious,” he said.

But others want to use their gadgets freely wherever they go.

“It’s the culture. It’s like your second child. Everybody does it,” Leland Robinson, 19, who works in Manhattan, said.

Another local was shocked to hear about the spate of thefts.

“It’s scary,” said Jen Tan, 23, who has an iPhone 6s. “If that happened to me it would hurt. I paid a lot for it.”

Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
