Are you sure that New Jersey requires a roll bar? Most of the commercial trikes I've seen are essentially motorcycles with a 3rd wheel - paired either front or back, and I've never seen one of those with a roll bar.

According to James the owner, because it has the enclosed bodywork it would need a roll bar. If it did not enclose the rider, then it would not need the roll bar.
According to the regulations, the roll bar main loop must be a minimum 2 inches higher than the drivers helmet. So its not tall enough for that operator in that picture.
