We have Laminate flooring in most rooms now.
Don't have a scooter but I do have dogs & move the furniture around couple times a year.
We used the Columbia clic lock type, just clicks together , no glue no nails.

We used some lower cost laminate in a rental job and it was not nearly as good quality as ours.
the edges chipped easier and the joints didn't fit as well.

If you go with a laminate make sure to at least get a mid range product and not the cheap stuff.
If you have someone do the install make sure you check out the brand they are installing and it's what you wanted, they could do a switch and give you the cheap stuff while charging for the higher cost laminate.

The floors need to be level with no uneven spots or the joints won't fit well.

Soooo,
I would check to see what kind of shape the real wood is in first, before I would cover it with the faux stuff.

real wood is the in thing now -even if it is not perfect.
If it is still solid and no major damage I say go with the real stuff.
