We have a hybrid approach like this in San Francisco - it's called Scoot and it is like an electric Vespa, not a push scooter or a pedal-assist bike. You drive it in traffic lanes like a car or motorcycle.
You can park them on the street in a regular parking spot (in most neighborhoods), or park them in a garage charging spot and get $1 off your ride. If you return a sidewalk-parked Scoot that is almost out of power, then your ride is free. It works pretty well and the pricing seems pretty fair.
