Do some hard braking and see what happens.

I have to add that some ESCs, such as the MMM, do have a TVS device which limits the amount of peak voltage generated during hard braking. IIRC, it's rated somewhere between 26 and 28v, which means that any voltage peaks above its rating are essentially shunted to ground. This means that you might not truly measure the full voltage peak potential. But really, any value above the battery voltage should indicate regen braking, because any voltage above the battery voltage will cause current to flow from the higher to lower potential, which is
from the motor
to the battery.
