Bajaj Chetak gained 9 percentage points to 75.7% citation share, the biggest move in Electric 2-Wheelers, while Ather held near-locked at 89.6% across all three engines. Ather retained the lead at 89.6% citation share, up marginally from 89.2% in the previous edition, with consistent dominance across ChatGPT (93.8%), Gemini (91.7%), and Google AI Mode (83.3%). Bajaj Chetak was the biggest mover, gaining 9 percentage points to 75.7% with the increase spread across all three engines: ChatGPT 83.3%, Gemini 81.3%, AI Mode 62.5%, indicating no single engine flip drove the move. River was the sharpest decliner, losing 7.6 percentage points to 13.2% and falling one rank to seventh, with Gemini (20.8%) remaining its sole point of relative strength versus a weak ChatGPT showing at 6.3%. The source pool added several broad EV communities including reddit.com/r/EVsOfIndia, reddit.com/r/ElectricScooters, and auto review platforms rushlane.com and ackodrive.com, plus bajajfinserv.in with 16 citations primarily on Gemini, though none map clearly to Chetak's specific gain.

Cite Solutions Research

Bajaj Chetak gained 9 percentage points to 75.7% citation share, the biggest move in Electric 2-Wheelers, while Ather held near-locked at 89.6% across all three engines.

The move

Ather retained the lead at 89.6% citation share, up marginally from 89.2% in the previous edition, with consistent dominance across ChatGPT (93.8%), Gemini (91.7%), and Google AI Mode (83.3%).

Bajaj Chetak was the biggest mover, gaining 9 percentage points to 75.7% with the increase spread across all three engines: ChatGPT 83.3%, Gemini 81.3%, AI Mode 62.5%, indicating no single engine flip drove the move.

River was the sharpest decliner, losing 7.6 percentage points to 13.2% and falling one rank to seventh, with Gemini (20.8%) remaining its sole point of relative strength versus a weak ChatGPT showing at 6.3%.

The source pool added several broad EV communities including reddit.com/r/EVsOfIndia, reddit.com/r/ElectricScooters, and auto review platforms rushlane.com and ackodrive.com, plus bajajfinserv.in with 16 citations primarily on Gemini, though none map clearly to Chetak's specific gain.

What it means

Ather's 89.6% share, consistent across all three engines, places this vertical in near-locked territory where displacing the leader requires a structural shift rather than incremental optimization.

Bajaj Chetak's 9 percentage-point gain is broad-based and not attributable to a single engine flip or clearly identified new source entry; treat it as a potentially structural move but watch whether it holds over the next two to three editions before reading it as durable.

River's decline is also unexplained by visible source or engine changes, suggesting sampling noise in the lower ranks where absolute mention counts are small.

For operators in the sub-leader tier, the broad EV comparison communities and auto review sites that entered the citation pool are the actionable source layer: subreddits and vertical review platforms that mention multiple brands in comparison format consistently carry the most citation lift in this category.
