Cite Solutions Research

Hero Vida appeared 10.7% more often in electric 2-wheelers answers on 21 May 2026 than the day before.

The move

Ather held the lead, named in 96.7% of electric 2-wheelers answers, ahead of TVS iQube at 93.3%. The engines split: ChatGPT led with Ather, Gemini with Ola Electric, and Google AI Mode with Ather.

The biggest single-day move was Hero Vida, appearing 10.7% more often than the day before.

What it means

At 96.7% 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 autoguideindia.com and bikencars.com, a signal that the engines are widening the evidence set they pull from for electric 2-wheelers.
