Yes, I know, I'm a bit delusional, but close to these specs would be a good start.
Angie,
Have you taken a tape measure and measured 17 inches and then tried lifting your leg that high? I'm taller than you but my inseam is only 30" and I have no problems lifting my leg 17 inches. I'd suggest you give it a try. I think it will be very difficult to find a bike that has that low a profile as well as the other features you want. Bria has an electric version of their easy-board model, but it uses anemic EU street-legal standards and may be limited to pedal assist only--no throttle control. The other thing I would worry about with their easy board model is that the frame is too low and could easily hit pavement on driveways, etc.
