Zhejiang Anqidi Power Machinery Co., Ltd. is the fifth Chinese outboard manufacturer PBN has tracked into the comparison, and the first that raises a question the other four didn’t: is it actually a separate brand at all?
The company is based in Luqiao District, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province, and claims 17 years in business. Unlike Nursia, Hankai and Yamabisi, the rotating-storefront clone brands PBN covered in July, Anqidi has its own factory, its own website, and its own retail placement on Walmart.com under the name Aiqidi, the spelling used throughout its marketing despite the company and domain name both reading Anqidi.
Its flagship is the F60, a 60hp four-stroke with electronic fuel injection, 996cc displacement, and power trim and tilt. That puts its ceiling at exactly the same figure as Calon Gloria’s F60, the brand PBN profiled in July as established but not yet a third power bracket. Aiqidi doesn’t change that picture. It sits alongside Calon Gloria rather than challenging Parsun or Hidea at the top of the table.
What Separates Aiqidi From Calon Gloria
What separates Aiqidi from Calon Gloria is what happens once its motors leave the factory. One of its own two-stroke listings on Alibaba markets a 40hp model outright as “Compatible With Yamaha 40HP.” That is the same self-declared clone framing PBN documented in Nursia’s Alibaba listings in July, not implied, stated on the product page.
The Walmart placement makes the picture messier rather than clearer. At least two current listings brand the product “Aiqidi HANGKAI” in the title itself, an 18hp two-stroke and a 3.5hp two-stroke. Hangkai is a name PBN has already encountered in this beat, spelled Hankai in the clone piece. Whether that’s the same brand under a different transliteration or a genuinely separate manufacturer is not something this piece resolves. A Facebook boating group post asks the same question outright: “Are the Aiqidi (Anqidi?) outboard motors made by Hangkai?” Nobody in the thread answers it.
The horsepower claims don’t line up cleanly either. Anqidi’s own site lists its nearest two-stroke model as the T15, 246cc, rated at 15hp. The Walmart listing at the identical 246cc displacement is rated 18hp. Same engine, on paper, two different numbers depending on which page you read.
Reviews on Aiqidi’s current US retail listings are too sparse to add much. An 18hp two-stroke carries 4 out of 5 stars from two ratings. A 15hp four-stroke carries 2.5 out of 5 from two ratings.
The Verdict
Aiqidi’s own factory, own dealer page, and Walmart placement put it ahead of the anonymous storefront brands on legitimacy. Its Yamaha-pattern designs, its Hangkai-branded listings and its inconsistent horsepower claims put it well short of Parsun or Hidea’s position at the top of the bracket. It occupies the space between PBN’s two Chinese outboard stories rather than fitting cleanly into either.
