There is something inherently wrong about having to worry that you will damage a mountain bike by riding it over rough terrain....I wondered about the rough terrain. I have another thread here about switching to a coil shock because there is so much washboard hard pack on my regular trail. Some of it is in high speed sections that must be rough on the bike.
Edit: I'm in the US, and I've learned to stay below the ~20 mph motor cutoff on the flats. I don't think I've had excessive engage/disengage cycles.
