. Is there a simple method to measure the horsepower of a small motor (1-3 hp) for a non-technical..

Yes, it is very easy to measure by non-technical person by force or pressure handling capacity of the motor which is practically done in many rural non technical persons.
Also, we can calculated or measured by wattmeter for measurment.
1HP = 746 Wattmeter
and by multiplying we will get more.

Answer / thowsif_emerson

1 horsepower = 746 watts. You can calculate watts by
multiplying voltage
times amps and factoring in efficiency. You can't really
get horsepower
just from the voltage of a motor.
