Looking for full suspension for trail and street

Hello everyone. I'm looking for a more comfort oriented riding position dual suspension bike.
Injured wrist means I can't lean over to hard on it. Trail oriented but street enjoyable. Aprox 3" tires. 5k or below, mid drive. I'm 66, good with bikes but not super aggressive at this point.
Thanks for your thoughts..

I have the perfect bike for you: If it is too expensive for you look at the same model in the 5 or 3 . https://moustachebikes.com/en/electric-bikes/samedi-27-xroad/samedi-27-xroad-fs-7/
 
Thank you..looks like a great bike..but for going on trails and loose gravel I'd like wider tires.
Thanks though looks like a great bike.

Of the e-bikes mentioned there, I agree with Steve the Moustache Samedi would be a good choice, and Bulls Iconic Evo is a good choice, too, as onlineaddy has suggested.
Bulls Bikes have many options, in many cases their e-bikes are expensive but if I were the OP, I'd tried this one, and it is within the budget:

SIX50 EVO AM 1

SIX50 EVO AM 1 is a fully all-mountain bike for hard training rides & demanding tours alike. It's ready for real off-road endurance tests, & even an alpine crossing!
www.bullsbikesusa.com www.bullsbikesusa.com

2.8" tyres and good components. It is a Class 1 e-bike, so it is allowed on trails.

A little over your $5k budget and tires not as wide at 2.4", but you should still consider the Bulls ICONIC EVO TR 1 Speed. Court recently posted a review of it.

Thank you Stefan..i checked out the bulls. I actually was going to buy a copperhead hd..but they didnt have my size..but rode on and liked it. I got a haibike 1.0 cause it was available and i had a ride planned here in Alaska..and a very nice bike for the money. Its a hardtail. I am looking for a full suspension for my place on the coast of california. I appreciate youre input buddy.

The big thing that i am not sure of is getting a pretty upright position. Its harder on steep climbs but i need it due to a wrist issue. Also ..being from alaska i dont worry about getting class 1 bike...i would prefer a class 3..and hauling ass on my way to the trail. I love the automatic setting for riding on trails..where it grabs the power level it thinks you need. I have an Emotion hub drive street bike in Cali. Its kinda surgy but love the bike. The nearest bulls dealer looks to be a couple hundred mile away from my place in cali...but really like the quality of the bulls.

That's the Bulls E-Stream 45 EVO AM or AM 4. Doesn't come free.
Regarding the more upright position, I have simply added a stem extender to my Giant :)
 
talk to pushkar at wattwagon
he can build you a softtail with more upright seating position and if you dont get the rohloff might get close to your price range

definitely worth looking at and maybe stretching your budget
