I Have No Idea What I'm Doing
I have a TaoTao dbx1 that is having no spark, at first i realized the choke was on so i thought i had just "drowned the spark plug" so i went to my nearest auto shop (AUTOZONE) and got a new sparkplug sure it as the right size or something like that with a google search on the specific model, went home replaces the spark but first kicked over the bike a couple times to get the rest of the gas out and went to put in the new sparkplug but was sad to see no spark coming out of the plug while kicking it over to look for spark so now i am just lost
can someone help me pls

Try a motorcycle forum instead of a bicycle forum

After going to a motorbike forum, disconnect the kill wire to the coil to make sure it's not grounding.

It's an internal combustion e-bike... 
OP, If not grounded, probably something loose, or rust on some areas, of course, there could be something wrong with a part, but that is not as common. No spark is common if engine has been sitting around. Follow the spark plug wire bacjk, and pull the flywheel to start.

and it can be bad if it kicks back (more a problem with big singles and old v twins)
