In summer months do you get a better flow rate from electric showers as the water may come to shower a few degrees warmer??
 
Or a hotter one
 
Any water heater, not just electric shower. It's like getting a "head start"

But say in winter months regarding electric showers off the main....
Does the flow rate reduce in order to get required temperature...as in is flow rate or temperature the priority??
 
As I understand it the elec shower element operates at a fixed power, the dial for hotter or colder simply lowers or increases the flow rate thereby changing the output temperature.
In winter if the incoming water is cooler then less of it can be heated to a given temperature.
