Maybe go fly by some nearby broadcast/communications towers or something, too?
Assuming "bike' means "motorcycle": Get him time and instruction on a motorcycle track. There are non-racing focused skills based track days; i was just at one with ages of participants spanning 19 to 78(!). What a way to get your head somewhere else for a day! If you give me a region, i might be able to make some recommendations.
A helicopter ride for you and him (and others if they'll fit) around where he lives or likes to camp. It's one thing to see your local places from an airplane, it was a completely different experience for me in a helicopter. If you can get one where the front seats have a window in the nose/floor and have him sit in the front with the pilot, that would probably be really cool for him. Maybe go fly by some nearby broa…

His wife made him give up his motorbike when they had kids! She'd not appreciate that from me :)
(I know a few people who exclusively track their bikes now to the point that they're not even plated any more; it's just where they want to go to enjoy the skills, and they've kind of lost interest in road riding entirely)

Maybe some LoRa goodies. Or a book about one of those topics you mentioned that maybe your brother hasn’t actually gotten too deep into.

The lucky guy gets to fly on helicopters for his install jobs. I'm waiting for him to invite me on the next trip.
