Power Wheels Motors

I have recently been working on a project that uses a basic stamp (Basic Stamp 2 Info Here) I have a question for those of you guys that know everything about motors.

I found these motors, that are found in "power wheels" (the little kids electric toys). Can these motors (pictured below) be rigged to power a robot type device. I want to integrate them with the basic stamp to be able to VSR. The weight of the machine being powered is approx 90 lbs. 4 wheel drive, hopefully all from these motors.

The description of the motors from the company selling it is....

Used 12V motors of the "Johnson" permanent magnet style mostly from power wheels toys. Shafts have flat for grip onto spur gear.

Any Info is greatly appreciated.
