Interesting tactic.
Haha, yeah, it was intended to be a physics problem. However, I was unsure if basic physics equations would work in this situation. Therefore, I was hoping the fast that the Segway does not stop on a dime, and that website proves it was enough. Calculating forces is not a specialty of mine but I'll give it a shot...

F=ma
a = V^2-V0^2/2x
a = 0^2-12.5^2/2(18.6)
a = 8.2 ft/s^2
F=ma = (250)(8.2) = 2050 lbf/ft
