To achieve a small and low power consumption suspension, which can be installed in a vehicle, such as a personal mobility vehicle, there is provided a vehicle suspension system including: a suspension that is connected to a vehicle body and a shaft mounted to wheels; an actuator that includes an output for vertically moving a suspension position of the suspension on the basis of inclination angle information of the vehicle; and a self-weight support mechanism that acts on the actuator to support vehicle weight. The self-weight support mechanism is composed of a spring mounted to the actuator, the actuator, and a link mechanism connected the suspension and the actuator.
