two motors into one gearbox

It you want to put two motor into one gearbox what you need to do is gear them so at the point where they combine they will freespin at the same RPM. That way the motor curves will match up for each motor, if you do not do that one motor will always be running with poor efficiency. That can cause both the tripping of breakers and drain your battery quickly.
