21 January 2000

Unique Mobility Announces Additional Order For Clutch Gear Assemblies At Its Unique Power Products Unit; New Order For Smaller Units To Complement Existing Clutch Gear Assembly Production

    GOLDEN, Colo., Jan. 21 -- UNIQUE MOBILITY, INC. (Amex: UQM)
announced today that it has received a new order from Funk Manufacturing, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Deere & Co., to manufacture a smaller model of the
complex welded clutch gear assemblies it currently supplies to Funk for use in
off-highway transmissions.  Annual revenue from the order is expected to
exceed $.6 million.
    Unique Power Products has been manufacturing and supplying the larger
power rated complex welded clutch gear assemblies to Funk since mid 1998.  The
addition of the smaller power rated complex clutch gear assemblies to Unique
Power Products manufacturing mix is expected to result in improved
efficiencies and lower costs of production for both products.
    In commenting on the order, Unique's President and Chief Executive
Officer, William G. Rankin, said, "We are extremely pleased to receive this
additional order from Funk.  These products use the full breadth of our gear
manufacturing capability, including carburizing and hardening heat treatment,
automated horizontal and vertical welding and internal cylindrical grinding
operations.  This order will further enhance our position as a high-quality,
low-cost supplier of precision mechanical power delivery components."
    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 is
located in Golden, Colorado.  Manufacturing facilities are located in
Frederick, Colorado (electric motors and gear assemblies) and St. Charles,
Missouri (electronic assemblies and wire harnesses).  For more information on
