A suspension assembly includes a shock absorber arranged to damp linear motion of a piston portion relative to a surrounding cylinder portion. A lead screw is disposed within the shock absorber for conversion between linear kinetic energy and rotational kinetic energy. The suspension assembly also includes an electric motor displaced externally from the shock absorber, for conversion between rotational kinetic energy and electricity, and a transmission arrangement disposed outside the shock absorber, mediating between the shock absorber and the motor, and configured to transfer a resistance torque from the motor to the lead screw so as to modulate the damping of the linear motion.
