digiNEXX - the only folding bike specialist in Singapore

In 1992 R&M came out with their first Birdy model in the garage of Heiko
Muller's parents as part of a university project. A productive year went by in
which development of the Birdy continued and new prototypes were built.

When Heiko Muller and Markus attended the IFMA and Eurobike shows in the
fall - this time with a fully functioning Birdy - they thought the middle aged
Asian man who stood in front of their bike and said, "I'll build you that. I also
want to sell it," was joking. George Lin was not kidding. Before they met Lin,
all attempts to find a manufacturer had not been successful, due to the six
figure D-Mark cost for the necessarry machine tools for a production run.
This hurdler had been the major stepping stone in the way of the two
company founders. Lin's offer presented an idealway to start producing
bikes. Muller sums up business with Pacific, "High production costs and a
lack of understanding prevailed in Germany, whereas Pacific was cooperative
and goal oriented."

R&M currently offers five different Birdy models and recently won the
prestigious Taiwan Superior Brand Award.
