What is air cooled hubs? Why would they need cooled. Where did you get that seat and how do you like it?
Nice bike. Slightly over my budget

The fins on the hub create more surface area and therefore it cools faster. Friction from inside of the hub releases heat (1st law thermodynamics). Why this was marketed for a cruiser, I don't know.
