[LETTERHEAD OF HOLME ROBERTS & OWEN LLP APPEARS HERE]
October 20, 1997
Unique Mobility, Inc.
425 Corporate Circle
Golden, CO 80401
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 3,754,938 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
