Using one controller for two motors would be like not having a differential. And if the wheel with the shaft sensor spun, the other motor would get rapid, useless pulses. Hub motors would be OK for a golf cart used in a warehouse, or for creeping gridlock on a nice day, but are not a good choice for wider conditions.
