An Australian app promising to help new e-bike riders avoid hills and traffic has secured its first partnership, in a deal proponents say could bring Australia closer to "Copenhagen levels" of cycling.

The deal between RACV offshoot Intelematics and e-bike service Lug+Carrie will see riders in three states automatically set up with the RidePlan app.
