Unique Mobility, Inc. Achieves ISO 9002 Quality Management Registration at its Unique Power Products, Inc. Motor Manufacturing Operation

    GOLDEN, Colo., Dec. 9 -- Unique Mobility, Inc. (Amex: UQM)
announced today that the quality management system for its motor manufacturing
subsidiary, Unique Power Products, Inc., has been certified compliant with the
international quality standard ISO 9002.  The audit and registration was
performed by Bureau Veritas Quality International.  ISO registration signifies
that a Company's quality management system meets a series of criteria and that
its manufacturing procedures are documented and consistently followed.
    Fred Davis, Unique Power Products Manager of Motor Manufacturing, said,
"This achievement is a direct result of the entire organization working
together.  The attainment of ISO 9002 registration is an important step in
becoming a world class supplier of products to our customers.  More
importantly, the achievement demonstrates that Unique Power Products has a
recognized quality management system in place which will be a springboard for
continual improvement of processes, products and people."
    William G. Rankin, Unique's President and Chief Executive Officer, said,
"ISO certification of our motor manufacturing operation is another important
milestone in achieving our goal of growing our business.  ISO certification
represents an independent testimonial that the Company has adopted and
implemented a quality system that meets a series of international standards
and we expect that this designation will assist us in securing new and larger
customers, as it has for the electronic manufacturing operations of our
Franklin Manufacturing unit in St. Charles, Missouri, which received its ISO
9002 registration in February 1997."

    Unique Mobility, Inc. is a leading developer and manufacturer of power
dense, high efficiency motors, gear assemblies and electronic assemblies for
the automotive, aerospace, telecommunications, medical and industrial markets.
The Company's headquarters and engineering and product development center are
