Reverse is easily accomplished by placing a MAG Relay-Based Controller
between the PWM Speed Controller and the motors. The PWM controller
varies the speed of the motors, while the MAG controller changes the
direction.
Such an approach also allows you to use a single PWM controller
(assuming it is sufficiently rated) to control the speed of both motors.
Or, you can use two separate PWM controllers operated by the same
control line to split the load of the motors.
