Qualified motorbike mechanic
Explanation:
Taken the best out of the other two answers for this one.

Two-wheeler just sounds odd to me whereas bike may well be connected to bicycles.

Unless he really is a qualified bicycle mechanic (which I doubt) then I think this option might sound the best.

Explanation:
Maybe, and assuming that Meister means that he has done his Meisterprüfung.

"Bike" to my ears is open to confusion with "bicycle" and is in any case too informal for this context, as well as excluding other two-wheeled vehicles such as scooters.

"Zweirad" is in german language "Bicycle" , but Man is also auto(Lorry) specialist.I should prefer "two-wheeler".
