He is frequently seen pedalling his bicycle around New York, often with his two boys hitching a ride.

But Liev Schreiber added a bit of oomph to his transportation when he was spotted out in the city's Tribeca district on Wednesday.

The 49-year-old actor zipped around the wet streets on a snazzy white scooter.

Liev was dressed in black from head to toe.

On a chilly day he donned an overcoat, black skinny jeans, a beanie, gloves and sneakers.

The only pop of colour came from the white soles of his black sneakers.

He added a black crash helmet for safety when he was on his scooter and very dark shades to protest his eyes.

Liev stars in Showtime's Ray Donovan, which films in Hollywood. The drama wrapped season four on September 18 and season five has yet to set a start date. 

Liev's extended stays on the West Coast were cited as one of the contributory factors in his split with longtime love Naomi Watts in September.

Meanwhile, he is using the break to star as the amorous Vicomte de Valmont in Les Liaisons Dangereuse on Broadway.

The couple, who had been together 11 years, share two sons, Alexander, nine, and seven-year-old Samuel, and the family are based in New York where the boys go to school. 

Meanwhile, Naomi, 48, has been staying close to home for the sake of their boys.

Born in the UK and raised in Australia, she has been shooting Netflix psychological thriller series Gypsy in New York with Billy Crudup.

Her drama-thriller Shut In hit theaters last Friday.
