In my reading of folding bikes, I found one that is almost identical to your Crane. I will send you a PM so you can see how similar they are. It uses the same kind of seatpost shim as your old model. Check the tires, chainring/cog size, etc. The only difference I can see is that one uses a secondary safety latch to fix the folding levers.

Thanks,
I checked out the bike you referred to, it is similar in overall shape, but that's all. The hinges, latches, headtube, and all of the details appear to be of lower quality. The devil is in the details.
