Rpi GPIOzero L298N DC Motor Driver Problem

Question

I built a buggy:

https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/build-a-buggy/2

it seems like it works correctly, except the motor doesn't stop even when I run robby.stop() is there some other command I should use instead?

Program I Ran:

from gpiozero import Robot
robby = Robot(left=(7,8), right=(9,10))

then in the python shell I ran robby.forward() which started the motor.

NOTE: When the board has power the motor goes forward even with the pi turned off.

Try my L298N python program for your buggy! :)

from time import sleep
from gpiozero import Motor

motor = Motor(17, 18)
motor.forward()
sleep(2)
motor.backward()
sleep(2)
motor.reverse
sleep(2)
motor.stop()
