We have acted as counsel to Arcimoto, Inc.

In connection with this opinion letter, we have examined the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the securities purchase agreements dated January 18, 2023 (the “Purchase Agreements”) by and between the Company and the purchasers party thereto (collectively, the “Purchasers”), the form of the Warrants, and originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the articles of incorporation of the Company and the bylaws of the Company, and such other documents, records and other instruments as we have deemed appropriate for purposes of the opinion set forth herein.

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.
