Feel free to destroy your linkit one. When you stop the energy the motor inertia will maintain your motor running and acting as a generator and the kickback current can fry your board.
Use a diode for protect your device or better a h-bridge.
Additionally. What's the point to connect a motor to the power lines instead connect it directly to a battery?
