Is there any way to purchase the motor and control assembly?
A shopper on May 29, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Hi, we do not have the component parts for sale on their own. The product is warrantied and quite robust so those parts aren't intended to be consumable.
Well that's a bummer. If motor fails you have a boat anchor?
The other side of it is if there are multiple motors doesn't that mean each motor is doing less work and wouldn't less strain on the motor potentially mean longer life for the motors?

A single motor design will likely be slower in lifting the desk than a dual motor design, but a single motor means one fewer failure point, as the transmission rod that connects the single motor to opposite leg of the desk is not likely to fail (it's just a metal shaft). If/when the single motor fails, the desk will simply stay stuck in place and completely level instead of proceeding to dump your stuff on the ground.
The most reliable and affordable standing desk, in my opinion, is the Home Depot Husky adjustable height workbench, which is sub-$200 at Home Depot before any sales or coupons. Throw in an electric screwdriver or electric drill-driver with a 10mm hex bit and you'll have motorized your standing desk. If/when your electric screwdriver or electric drill-driver fails, you'll be able to fix the issue without tossing the entire desk.
Just my two cents, I'd rather spend a bit more for a longer warranty period (1 year from Monoprice).

It's actually pretty hard to hit the specified weight limit of 170 pounds.

Don't recommend people to use a height adjustable workbench as a standing desk. There is not enough depth for ergonomic placement. It's like 20" deep and if you mount your monitor maybe you could make it workable.
