If you drive it carefully and gently so it doesn't require as much force, you can traverse pretty slippery surfaces. He was riding pretty aggressively. As a rule of thumb, if you have trouble doing something on foot, it'll be marginal with the Segway but may outperform you on foot. When I first got a Segway, I went up a dust-covered steep path, until I lost traction. When I tried to get up, I slid back down that same hill, on my hands and knees. This was stock tires, and they out-performed my shoes or even hands and denim (which wore through, and I made a mess of my knees as well as my hands).
