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.
