1 Or 2 Motor Controllers?

I was wondering if I need 2 or 1 of the Ez-Robot motor contollers to run 2 of these:

12V DC Reversible Gearhead Motors - 160RPM

As part of our new mechatronics range, we are proud to introduce 3 combined miniature motor/gearbox sets. The motors work equally well in forward or reverse motion.

For heavy duty applications. - Massive 50kgs torque at 55RPM

Torque: 50kg/cm @ 55RPM Rated Voltage: 12.0V Operating: 6 -12Vmax Current - No Load: <450mA Current - Full Load: 14A Gear Ratio: 50:1 Shaft Speed: 160RPM Weight: 0.32kg

I had a project once where I needed a 12v and 6v voltage so I got two powersonic 6volt sealed batteries from shields electronics and had two seperate circuits , one in series making a 12v loop and two paralleled both batteries pos and neg for a twelve volt circuit. In doing this I had a inline filter too , a capacitor. Saved me weight and cost of having more batteries or dc to dc converter
