1. A vehicle suspension system with variable geometry for suspending an endless track beneath a vehicle, comprising:

  • a rigid suspension arm pivotally attached to a vehicle chassis;

    a biasing/dampening mechanism having a first end operatively attached to the chassis and a second end;

    an electric actuator mechanism operatively connecting the second end of the biasing/dampening mechanism to the moveable suspension arm, the actuator mechanism having means for moving the second end along at least one axis when the vehicle is in a dynamic mode to alter the motion ratio of the vehicle suspension system, anda control mechanism for activating the actuator mechanism, wherein the actuator mechanism is intermittently connected in series with an electric power source on the vehicle.
