Nev Schulman is getting back on the proverbial horse, or in his case, an electric bike … tooling around New York after breaking his neck in a near-fatal collision.

The “Catfish” star was all smiles Monday in the Big Apple, where he was zooming through a busy Manhattan street on his e-bike … only 7 weeks removed from his traumatic accident.

Nev looks pretty confident here … smiling and taking one hand off the handlebars to wave at photogs … all while wearing a helmet, and with his wife Laura Perlongo holding on.

It’s pretty incredible to see Nev back on his bike so fast … as we reported, he was riding in Long Island last month when a truck hit him, breaking his neck.

Nev had an emotional rehab process, including neighborhood walks in a neck brace … and it looks like he’s all healed up.

Nev’s told us he’s aiming to run the NYC marathon in November … and based on what we’re seeing here, it looks like he’s going to reach his goal.
