For what it's worth, where I work a range of people between approx 5' 5" and 6' 2" use the same bullitts, just adjusting seatpost height when they switch between bikes and have never heard anyone complain about a bad fit or an issue with standover height. Worth getting the smaller of the two of you to try a bullitt and see if it works but can't imagine it won't!

Back to looking at buillitt and riese and muller
Why? IME neither of those are easier to ride.
From what I gather the original bakfiets is very stable and very intuitive to ride. Low standover too. That's the one I'd tell my gf to try first (she won't borrow my Omnium).

Build for your mrs and just whack your seat up to ride.
Our tandem is fitted to her, then the saddle goes up 2” and the bars feel a tad too close. It’s not a road bike, I’m not doing loads of miles so it’s plenty comfortable!

I had a friend probably about that height who managed on a small mini-max. Wouldn't recommend it for a none confidant cyclist tho, lack of standover height will be a real problem
