Try it, if you can find it.
It's not about height but rather leg length (one and two, not the third).
Wouldn't bother chasing your tail over a "sports" 50 cc because will, most likely, be slower than what would be considered "safe" on the roads anyway -- ie: keep up traffic etc.
Get something that will run for a year as cheap as you can and then scrap it or flog it on facebook for a hundred quid or so when you're done and then, when you're 17, think about getting the well recommended YBR 125 until you can do your A2. But we're getting ahead of ourselves, here.
Get yourself a pragmasis 13 mm chain and you'll be better protected than most -- if used with disc lock and steering lock. Avoid Oxford or any shop sold chain.
Probably go with TPO on the insurance, can imagine they'll bum you being young and first time rider etc.
Welcome to the world of "there's always something to buy."

Your main problem will be finding a 50cc that hasn't been mullered by generations of 16 years olds trying to "desrestrict" it by hacksawing parts off and twisting random wires together.
As above, buy the cheapest working moped that you can find, sweat it out for a year, then sling it in a ditch and never look back.

You are short and stumpy  don't buy a large "adventure" bike 
On serious note : most 50cc bikes and peds are made with yoof and teenagers in mind.
You shouldn't struggle to much
