Call it a hot ride.

A scooter caught fire on Ralph Avenue on Sept. 6.

The fire department responded to a call for a transportation fire at 4:33 pm and found the scooter engulfed in flames next to the bus stop near Avenue K, according to a spokesman.

Two fire companies and 11 of New York’s Bravest extinguished the fire by 4:47 pm with no injuries.

Police officers from the 63rd Precinct closed off the area while the fire fighters put out the flames.
