HB 25 and multiple motors.

I have two small motors I want to start at the same time. Can I hook both motors to one HB 25 without worrying about damage to the HB 25?
The motors are both the same and draw very little current.

    If you want the two motors to turn in the same direction, will run on 6-16VDC, and they don't draw more than 25A (see specs on HB-25 product page) it should work. I have a robot that I am running both motors fom Parallax's 7.2V Motor, Bracket and Wheel Kits on one HB-25. Haven't had any problems.
