Ather led electric 2-wheelers on 19 May 2026, named in 96.0% of answers across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Mode.

The move

Ather held the lead, named in 96.0% of electric 2-wheelers answers, ahead of TVS iQube at 93.3%. The engines split: ChatGPT led with Ather, Gemini with TVS iQube, and Google AI Mode with Ather.

Day-over-day movement was muted across the field.

What it means

At 96.0% citation share, Ather holds electric 2-wheelers in AI answers about as tightly as any brand in our index.

The recommendation slot for the category leader is effectively closed; the contest is for the second and third names.

The engines disagreeing on the leader means a buyer asking ChatGPT versus Google AI Mode for electric 2-wheelers gets a different first recommendation, which is the clearest sign the category is still being decided.

New domains entered the citation pool on this day, including 91wheels.com and ackodrive.com, a signal that the engines are widening the evidence set they pull from for electric 2-wheelers.
