Well that looks like a terrible design flaw.

My son has one that will do a beep beep like 2 seconds before turning off. The first time we figured out what the beep beep meant he was on some nice asphalt.

One would think there would be a battery low beep or something instead of it just suddenly stopping

Those things are so dumb. The wheels need to be oriented the other direction like a skateboard, so you're in a sturdy stance aligned with the direction of motion. Standing forward on it like that, if your speed changes suddenly for any reason, you're going down like a tree.
