Connecting dc motors in parallell

I’m building a GoKart, and its my first time building something with electronics.

So I have two 12v DC motors. My plan is to power both from one 12v battery. My plan is to connect the + to + and - to - on the motors to each other. Then connect + from one motor to the + on the battery, and connect - from the other motor to the - on the battery. So this way, I can keep the motors at 12v, and 4 ah.

Is this correct?

I’m confused. It says my post is edited, but it looks exactly the same. Anyway, can someone tell me if I’m correct as far as the circuit diagram?

can someone verify I’m right or wrong please?

Hello @tonynsx.
