I do. When my daughter took off with my Cannondale Adventure bike ( with my permission ) I knew I had to get something. I tried a couple “girl’s” bikes but they still seemed pretty hard to get on/off of. I looked around for something even lower and also decided a IGH would eliminate almost all maintenance issues.

So I bought one of these:
Biria easy boarding 8

I’m on my fifth year riding it and still going strong. I got new slick tires after 2 years and lubed the hub then too. It’s quite comfortable for 25 miles which is about as far as I go. I’m 67. Oh, I see it’s out of stock. Bummer, maybe you can find one somewhere. Good luck.
