Would recommend getting a taxi to the pick up location, cost less than $20. Hahndorf is not to be missed, or the Central Adelaide Markets.
Found a useful website that shows available on street parking/ carpark locations in the CBD: parkopedia.com.au. Noticed there is an electric scooter hire system, not sure how it works.
