Try a folding bike. They mostly have low frames (although maybe not quite "step through"), many have internal hubs, and they're generally not too heavy (some are, but I think most are closer in weight to regular bikes than cruisers).
Oh and for a bike with these features a folder will probably cheaper too due to economies of scale (ie most people looking for a bike like this also appreciate the ability to fold it).
