Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Arcimoto, Inc.

Except as otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used in this Opinion Letter are defined as set forth in the Agreement.

In connection with the offering and sale of the Shares, the Company has prepared and filed (a) the registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-227683) (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) and declared effective on October 17, 2018, (b) the prospectus dated October 17, 2018 contained in the Registration Statement (the “Base Prospectus”) and (c) the prospectus supplement dated November 20, 2020, filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) of the 1933 Act (the “Prospectus Supplement” and together with the Base Prospectus the “Prospectus”).

For the purpose of rendering this opinion, we assumed, without investigation, the genuineness of all signatures, the correctness of all certificates, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted as certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies, and the accuracy and completeness of all records made available to us by the Company. In addition, in rendering this opinion, we assumed that the Shares will be offered in the manner and on the terms identified or referred to in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, including all supplements and amendments thereto.
