Ather holds at 91.9% across all three engines while Hero Vida shed 6 percentage points to 36.9%, the largest single-brand move in the vertical this edition.

The move

Ather retained the top position at 91.9% citation share, a marginal 2 percentage point decline from 93.9% in the previous edition, with all three engines aligned: ChatGPT and Gemini each at 94.6%, AI Mode at 86.5%.

Hero Vida is the biggest mover, falling 6 percentage points to 36.9%, uniformly across ChatGPT (32.4%), Gemini (35.1%), and AI Mode (43.2%), with no rank change at position 5.

Sixteen new domains entered the citation pool this edition, including rideriver.com, already a top-2 source at 18 citations primarily through Gemini, and cartoq.com; no credible link exists between these new entries and Hero Vida's decline.

No single-engine flip or sentiment shift explains the drop; treat it as sampling variance until it repeats.

What it means

The vertical sits at near-locked concentration at the top, with Ather (91.9%), Ola Electric (87.4%), TVS iQube (86.5%), and Bajaj Chetak (76.6%) all in a densely packed upper band, then a roughly 40 percentage point gap to Hero Vida and below.

Hero Vida's move with no rank change and no visible engine or source mechanism is consistent with noise rather than a structural retreat.

The addition of rideriver.com as a high-citation Gemini source is worth monitoring: EV review publishers entering Gemini's pool at this citation volume can shift brand share within a single edition.

For operators in this vertical, sustained presence on Gemini's highest-citation domains, specifically bikewale.com, ridenrepair.com, and evindia.online, which collectively account for more than half the top-source citations, is the most durable lever available.
