Hi, new to this forum, and looking for advice. I’m 6’5 and weigh 240lbs. looking for a trail bike to ride on my property only. not looking for speed, just a comfortable ride. If spending more gets me the best ride i’m all for it. Thanks for your opinions and advice.
 
I think you are going to need more parameters to narrow the field. Probably more than a couple hundred eBikes meet what you have just asked for, a slow comfortable ride with an open ended budget.
 
Tell us about your property. Rolling vs. flat, percentage of loose sugar sand vs. hard packed single track, vs, rocky/gravely, etc? All can make quite a difference in what bike I would pick anyway.

Rolling hills, wooded trails, no sand or rocks, open field. in Michigan
 
Native Michigander here, with a ton of ORV experience. Lack of pavement and rolling hills = a gear driven setup. Either a gear driven rear hub or a mid drive. The mid drive having more available grunt, but at a higher cost. Need for a mid drive determined by your "rolling hills" (% of total riding and how steep/long they are).

I would also go with a "fatty", a bike with 4" tires for traction and better ride. A throttle would also be high on my list. Truth be told, I wouldn't have a bike without one.
