It appears that through their Social Bicycling program, JUMP bikes offer a $1 credit to people who lock a bike to a charging hub, rather than just a ‘dumb’ bike rack or pole. JUMP claims that bicycles typically require a charge every 48 hours. I’d assume it’ll work the same way with Uber Bike.

Keeping the conservation of energy in mind, any other method of charging isn’t feasible.

This is a fantastic solution to the issue, and could help solve the issue of bikes getting dumped everywhere. Combining the dock and dockless models!
