Cite Solutions Research

TVS iQube gained 6 percentage points driven entirely by ChatGPT, where it now leads at 98% citation share rank 1, while Ather holds Gemini and AI Mode at 98% and 92%.

The move

Ather retained the overall lead at 95.3% citation share, up 2.6 percentage points from the previous edition, dominant on Gemini at 98% rank 1 and AI Mode at 92% rank 1.

TVS iQube was the biggest mover, gaining 6 percentage points to 92.7%, with the gain coming entirely from ChatGPT where it now appears in 98% of answers at rank 1, compared to Gemini (94%, rank 2) and AI Mode (86%, rank 2).

The engine split is structural: TVS iQube owns ChatGPT, Ather owns the other two.

Bajaj Chetak climbed one rank to third on a 4-percentage-point gain, consistent with reddit.com/r/chetakelectric entering the citation pool this edition.

Ola Electric fell 2.7 percentage points and dropped from rank 3 to rank 4.

What it means

The vertical is near-locked: the top four brands all appear in over 80% of answers, leaving limited room for challengers.

The defining structural feature is engine-brand alignment rather than overall dominance, TVS iQube owns ChatGPT at 98% while Ather holds Gemini and AI Mode.

A brand in this category should audit its presence on the source types each engine prefers.

Bajaj Chetak's correlation with a brand-specific subreddit entering the pool is concrete evidence that Reddit community coverage is readable and citable by all three engines.

The takeaway for second-tier brands: active coverage on category-specific Reddit communities is an identifiable citation lever in this vertical, particularly for AI Mode and Gemini.
