         Re:  Unique Mobility, Inc.
              Form S-8 Registration Statement
              1992 Stock Option Plan

Gentlemen:

     This firm has acted as counsel to Unique Mobility, Inc. (the "Company"), in
connection with the preparation and filing of its registration statement on Form
S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the sale of an
aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, $.01 par value (the
"Common Stock"), which may be acquired through participation in the Company's
1992 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan").

     We have examined the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and
the record of its corporate proceedings with respect to the registration
statement and have made such other investigation as we have deemed necessary in
order to express the following opinion.

     The Common Stock, when sold and delivered as contemplated by the Plan and
the registration statement, will be legally issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.

     We hereby consent to all references to this firm in the registration
statement and all amendments to the registration statement. We further consent
to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the registration statement.

                             Very truly yours,

                             HOLME ROBERTS & OWEN LLP

by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion,
insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Taiwan UQM Electric Co., Ltd.
for the years ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 is based solely on the report of the
other auditors.

We consent to the incorporation by reference in the registration statement on
Form S-8 of Unique Mobility, Inc. of our report dated June 4, 1999 relating to
the consolidated balance sheets of Unique Mobility, Inc. and subsidiaries as of
March 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for the
years ended March 31,1999 and 1998, the five months ended March 31, 1997 and the
year ended October 31, 1996, which report appears in the March 31, 1999 Annual
Report on Form 10-K of Unique Mobility, Inc. and to the reference to our firm
under the heading "Experts" in the registration statement and prospectus.
