What ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Mode said about electric 2-wheelers brands in India on 24 June 2026

Ather displaced TVS iQube for the citation lead after Gemini and Google AI Mode both ranked it first while ChatGPT continued ranking TVS iQube first.

By Cite Solutions ResearchPublished 24 June 2026Permanent recordCC BY 4.0

Ather displaced TVS iQube for the citation lead after Gemini and Google AI Mode both ranked it first while ChatGPT continued ranking TVS iQube first. Ather finished at 89.2% citation share, up 2.5 percentage points from the previous edition, taking the lead from TVS iQube which dropped 1.4 percentage points to 86.7%. The engine split is the mechanism: Gemini ranked Ather first at 92.5% citation share and AI Mode ranked it first at 80%, while ChatGPT still ranked TVS iQube first at 97.5% citation share. River is the biggest mover, falling 8.1 percentage points to 20.8% with no rank change; its negative sentiment climbed to 12%, the highest in the field, and the drop spread across all three engines with ChatGPT citing it in only 12.5% of answers. Eighteen new domains entered the citation pool today, including motormogul.in (now the top source at 18 ChatGPT-primary citations), reddit.com/r/EVIndia, carandbike.com, and saurenergy.com, though none clearly maps to Ather's Gemini or AI Mode gains.

Ather displaced TVS iQube for the citation lead after Gemini and Google AI Mode both ranked it first while ChatGPT continued ranking TVS iQube first.

The move

Ather finished at 89.2% citation share, up 2.5 percentage points from the previous edition, taking the lead from TVS iQube which dropped 1.4 percentage points to 86.7%.

The engine split is the mechanism: Gemini ranked Ather first at 92.5% citation share and AI Mode ranked it first at 80%, while ChatGPT still ranked TVS iQube first at 97.5% citation share.

River is the biggest mover, falling 8.1 percentage points to 20.8% with no rank change; its negative sentiment climbed to 12%, the highest in the field, and the drop spread across all three engines with ChatGPT citing it in only 12.5% of answers.

Eighteen new domains entered the citation pool today, including motormogul.in (now the top source at 18 ChatGPT-primary citations), reddit.com/r/EVIndia, carandbike.com, and saurenergy.com, though none clearly maps to Ather's Gemini or AI Mode gains.

What it means

At 89.2% the leader share is near-locked territory (above 85%), but the Ather-TVS iQube margin is narrow enough that the lead is sensitive to engine-level sampling, since TVS iQube still dominates ChatGPT at 97.5%.

The clean engine-line divide, two engines for Ather and one for TVS iQube, means the overall rank will stay contested as long as that split holds.

River's 8.1 percentage-point drop carries a negative-sentiment signal at 12% that is more concerning than the sov decline alone, but no new source-pool entrant or engine shift explains the fall, so treat it as potentially sampling variance until it repeats in the next edition.

For TVS iQube operators, the Gemini and AI Mode deficit is the specific structural gap: comparison and review publishers like bikedekho.com and ridenrepair.com already in the Gemini-primary pool appear to be the lever, and increasing coverage in that publisher type is the actionable priority.
