If you don't have anything that can absorb this sudden energy, the supply rails can rise outside their safe range. https://www.geckodrive.com/support/returned-energy-dump/ is an example of one of the ways to absorb that energy.

While I haven't had direct experience with the 57AIM15 and 57AIM30 motors, I have heard a number of good things. They may also be worth considering.
