     Re:  Sale of Shares of Common Stock Pursuant to Registration Statement
          on Form S-3

Gentlemen:

     We have  acted as counsel  to Unique  Mobility,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  in
connection with the  registration  by the Company of 3,504,938  shares of common
stock,  $.01 par value per share (the  "Shares")  described in the  Registration
Statement  on Form S-3 of the  Company,  being  filed  with the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission  concurrently  herewith. In such connection we have examined
certain corporate records and proceedings of the Company including actions taken
by the Company's Board of Directors in respect of the authorization and issuance
of the Shares, and such other matters as we deemed appropriate.

     Based upon the  foregoing,  we are of the opinion that the Shares have been
duly authorized  and, when issued and sold as  contemplated by the  Registration
Statement,  will be legally  issued,  fully paid and non-  assessable  shares of
capital stock of the Company.



<PAGE>



     We hereby  consent  to be named in the  Registration  Statement  and in the
Prospectus  constituting  a part  thereof,  as amended from time to time, as the
attorneys who will pass upon legal  matters in  connection  with the issuance of
the  Shares,  and to the filing of this  Opinion as an Exhibit to the  aforesaid
Registration  Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we
are in the category of persons whose consent is required  under Section 7 of the
Securities Act of 1933 or the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Very truly yours,


/s/ Nick Nimmo
