When was the last time you rode an electric bike in summer? Unless humidity is also very high I find it much more pleasant than just walking. You can't compare it to riding a motorcycle because you're not clad in leather from head to toe.

Most southern countries in Europe people aren't clad in leather when driving motorbikes, the most crazy ones might even only have a bathing suit as clothes when going around the traditional Summer vacation regions.

How is it possible that people drive motorbikes in southern countries when it's literally torture to be outside in warm weather?

People need to move regardless of the weather conditions, so they pick what makes it comfortable to do so.
