Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We are acting as counsel to HyreCar Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the public offering of up to $50,000,000 of shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”), all of which Shares are to be offered and sold by the Company from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Equity Sales Offering Agreement, dated November 9, 2021 (the “Agreement”), between the Company, D.A. Davidson & Co., and Northland Securities, Inc., as sales agents. The Shares are being offered pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated November 9, 2021 and the accompanying base prospectus dated July 8, 2021 (such documents, collectively, the “Prospectus”) that form part of the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333- 257372) (the “Registration Statement”). This opinion letter is furnished to you at your request to enable you to fulfill the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K, 17 C.F.R. § 229.601(b)(5), in connection with the Registration Statement.

 

For purposes of this opinion letter, we have examined copies of such agreements, instruments and documents as we have deemed an appropriate basis on which to render the opinion hereinafter expressed. In our examination of the aforesaid documents, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the accuracy and completeness of all documents submitted to us, the authenticity of all original documents, and the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies (including telecopies). As to all matters of fact, we have relied on the representations and statements of fact made in the documents so reviewed, and we have not independently established the facts so relied on. This opinion letter is given, and all statements herein are made, in the context of the foregoing.

 

This opinion letter is based as to matters of law solely on the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (collectively, the “DGCL”). We express no opinion herein as to any other laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, or regulations.

 

Based upon, subject to and limited by the foregoing, we are of the opinion that following (i) authorization by the Company’s Board of Directors or a duly authorized pricing committee thereof, within the limitations established by resolutions duly adopted by the Board of Directors, of the terms pursuant to which the Shares may be sold pursuant to the Agreement, (ii) issuance of the Shares pursuant to placement instructions under the Agreement, consistent with the terms authorized in the above-mentioned resolutions of the Board of Directors or a duly authorized pricing committee thereof, and (iii) receipt by the Company of the proceeds for the Shares sold pursuant to such terms and such placement instructions, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.
