The first bit of documentation I provided in this topic at Ether's request:
http://www.robotmarketplace.com/prod...sersManual.pdf
Seriously, this is professional documentation and it does not mention mechanical relay or solid-state.
However, it does incorrectly refer to itself as an H-bridge which as you and others say it is not. Should I also know better than to read Innovation FIRST documentation and take it for granted?
I've already stated I stand corrected on that detail....are you interested in the validity of my original suggestion which I provided a video demonstration for or something a little less gracious and professional?

Again:
A solid state relay *can* be used to control motor speed under the right circumstances and Innovation FIRST does sell one which apparently someone...somewhere thinks is called a Spike (I've just never tried it with this relay and we don't know what kind of motor):
