Or another.. how about the Segway stops moving after it gives the alert, and uses all its power left to keep it upright?
I think that your second idea above is a winner. I would consider submitting it to the company.

Maybe there could be three stages: a battery-low buzzer, a "charge your Segway now" buzzer, and a "really sorry, that's as far as we go" setting as in your suggestion.

The Segway is actually being used as a robotics research platform, but I guess that could have it's own thread:
