I’ve seen a lot of bikers have this symbol on their jacket and I wanted to ask what it means. Is it actually a nazi symbol or not.

It’s an iron cross, originally a military medal that pre-dates the Nazis by a long way and is therefore not specifically a Nazi symbol. A version of it is even in use as the official logo of the German armed forces.
However, it does usually imply militarism, and frequently actual Nazis will use it as a proxy for the swastika, such as in [this example](https://www.wehrmacht1945.de/images/product_images/popup_images/1846_0.png).
