Anyway, I had the bike for over a year now.
I was riding it when all of a sudden the right pedal started to wobble, I had no idea what was wrong but I managed to get home and noticed that the crank thread was completely gone! I read online that probably the pedal wasn't fitted well.

I bought a crank puller and took the crank out, it is a Lanhang-52T-170L-quite heavy.
I went to 3 bike shops but I didn't find anything like it, they were either smaller or had more than one gear.... *phew!* I was also told that the thread couldn't be replaced/fixed.

I checked online and I found the following cranks which should be exactly or close to the one I have, what are you thoughts on these?

- TMC Single Speed Fixie Bicycle Fixed Gear Bike Crankset Cranks 52T | eBay

- MTB Crankset Crank Chain Wheel BCD130 Square Hole 52T Chainwheel with Shield | eBay

- Lasco Bicycle Crankset 52T 165mm Bike Chainwheel Alloy Chainring Chain Guard | eBay (slightly shorter)

Sorry for the long text, I would really appreciate some assistance as I have nobody that's experienced to help me. Thanks!
You can look for a helicoil repair kit for the pedal thread, but a cheap crank might be less expensive. One or two teeth difference will be barely noticable
