Have any of you had Laminate floors installed in your home? If so, have you installed it over old hardwood floors? How does it hold up? Will my scooter be alright on them?

I have old hardwood floor under my carpet. I'm thinking of removing the carpet and either refinishing the hardwood or installing laminate wood finish/like floors over the hardwood.

I'd appreciate pros, cons, pitfalls, if any and your advise and thoughts.

Thanks
